For even the most on-the-ball parents, the search for a good daycare provider is at best an emotionally charged exercise. At worst, it's an exasperating test in faith to place loved ones in the hands of a poorly regulated and inconsistent world of daycare. With news accounts of children injured or abused at the hands of caregivers occurring on practically a daily basis, consumer attorney  Jeff Rasansky has published an important guide to identifying and preventing daycare abuses.

"Preventing, Discovering and Acting on Claims of Daycare and Childcare Abuse" is available to download at www.daycareabusebook.com, the guide outlines rules, regulations and best practices regarding daycare safety, explaining what to look for when choosing a daycare, how to spot warning signs and what to do when abuse is suspected. "Our hope is that this book will give parents the tools to help protect the most vulnerable members of their families," Mr. Rasansky says. To interview Mr. Rasansky about daycare abuse, contact Bruce Vincent at 800-559-4534 or bruce@androvett.com.
