The Georgia injury lawyers at Finch McCranie, LLP have represented, and continue to represent, victims of day care child abuse. The statistics on physical child abuse <\/a>are alarming. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of children are physically abused each year by a parent or close relative; however, abusers include daycare workers, healthcare providers, mental healthcare workers and others who care for children on a daily basis.
\nWe currently represent a young victim who was abused while a patient in the psychiatric ward of a Georgia hospital and a young victim of a sexual assault <\/a>that occurred while a patient in an Atlanta brain injury rehabilitation facility. Just last week the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on a case where children were abused by a staff member at a Kennesaw day care center. According to the article, an investigation revealed that other employees of the day care center knew the abuse was happening! Although physical abuse is perhaps the most common form of abuse, it is not the only kind of child abuse. Many children are victims of neglect, or sexual abuse, or emotional abuse.
\nIn 2005, 899,000 children in the U.S. were victims of child abuse, neglect and maltreatment: 90% suffered neglect, 3.6 suffered medical neglect, 13% were physically abused, 4% were sexually abused and 1% were psychologically mistreated. Children who have been abused may display:
\na poor self image
\nsexual acting out
\ninability to trust or love others
\naggressive, disruptive, and sometimes illegal behavior
\nanger and rage
\nself destructive or self abusive behavior, suicidal thoughts
\npassive or withdrawn behavior
\nfear of entering into new relationships or activities
\nanxiety and fears
\nschool problems or failure
\nfeelings of sadness or other symptoms of depression
\nflashbacks, nightmares
\ndrug and alcohol abuse
\nProper treatment through experienced professionals is the key to starting to heal the damage. Legal action is often the only way that those who allow the sexual abuse to occur will take responsibility for their failures.<\/p>\n
