There are SOOOOOO many incidents where the parent thought the provider or caregiver was trustworthy and they put on such a great smile and are so great with the kids when they are there for drop off and pick up, and you absolutely do not know FOR SURE what that person could be doing with your child in the day. People put on a show for the parents, point blank I have seen it many times where they thought they could trust them and did and they shouldn’t have.And no it’s no always abuse happening but things you just wouldn’t want your child doing, like for example bieng left to cry in a room for a long period of time. I cringe every time I think about that happening to my daughter. I want her to have love and attention. I had worked in many daycare centers and have had my own in home daycare and now work at an in Home Daycare and I will always believe that you just cannot trust someone with your child that you wouldn’t consider a great friend or family member. And someone even the closest people to you end up decorating you and doing the wrong thing!
Point is stop assuming that you have the right for some random parent to trust you with their child. Trust me they want to trust you! But I’m this day and age you just can’t, in other words you should not.
The biggest risk to your child's life is YOU. The people you believe are safer to be with your child are way more dangerous than child care providers.

Would you do us the favor and actually DO the research?
Start here:*
Perpetrator Relationship
Victim data were analyzed by relationship of (duplicate count) victims to their perpetrators. Four-fifths (81.2%) of victims were maltreated by a parent either acting alone or with someone else. Nearly two-fifths (36.8%) of victims were maltreated by their mother acting alone. One-fifth (19.0%) of victims were maltreated by their father acting alone. One-fifth (18.9%) of victims were maltreated by both parents. Thirteen percent (12.8%) of victims were maltreated by a perpetrator who was not a parent of the child. (See exhibit 3–H and related notes.)

Read the entire thing if you are*TRULY*concerned about the children. Pay special attention to the data regarding who actually injures and kills children. You will see study after study that child care providers are a mere blip on the radar.*
