Every parent places immense trust in daycare providers to care for and protect their children. When that trust is broken by an act of sexual abuse, the emotional devastation is profound. If your child has been harmed in a Missouri daycare facility, you are not alone. Our legal team is here to help your family seek justice, hold negligent parties accountable, and support your child’s long-term healing.
Sexual abuse in daycare settings in Missouri may involve inappropriate touching, exposure to explicit materials, or more severe forms of assault. It can be committed by staff, volunteers, or even older children who have not been properly supervised. Often, red flags go unaddressed by management, allowing abusive behavior to continue unchecked.
In Missouri, civil law gives families the right to pursue legal claims against:
The individual abuser
The daycare facility
Staff members who failed to report suspected abuse
Institutions that overlooked complaints or failed to run background checks
You may be entitled to compensation for medical care, therapy, emotional distress, and more. In certain cases, punitive damages may be awarded to penalize gross negligence.
Missouri statutes of limitations for civil sexual abuse cases vary based on the survivor’s age and the timing of abuse disclosure. Even if the abuse occurred years ago, your family may still have time to act.
