Yes, I don't have any infants in care right now but as I see stories on the news of daycare workers being charged for various reasons, I worry for myself...wondering if they are being wrongfully accused and if I would ever be wrongfuly accused for something I never did in this business. For instance, on my local news a few months ago a male daycare worker was charged for sexual abuse. The accusations came from young girls, so my initial thought was how can they be sure, kids can make up all kinds of stories.

It just makes you wonder...you could do absolutely nothing wrong and be put in jail. It's a scary thought, as a mother with a family I couldn't imagine being thrown in jail and the impact it would have on my family, for a crime never committed.

As the previous poster stated, all we can do to protect ourselves is document EVERYTHING and ANYTHING unusual and always do a complete check of the child upon arrival...for any bruises or any unusual behavior.
