Question: Signs of sexual abuse or Im just crazy!.!?
A girl in my daycare who is 3!.
She acts out when parent comes to pick her up such as " I dont wanna go home" and " I dont want a boy to come help me potty"
Also she will not let me wipe her nor wash her down there when given a bath she holds her genital area and will not let me wash nor will she wash herself!.
She also is potty trained yet goes to the bathroom in pants alot!. And cries when she tells me!.
Cries alot about little misc!. things such as I say dont do that that is not nice she says!. "dont tell me that that is a bad word you are being mean to me"
I just get a strange feeling from the child and the parent like something wrong is going on!. I dont want to ask because I just can not find a way to put it to her without her repeating something to the parent (who I suspect is the problem)!. She gets along very well with children her age esp!. boys!. Am I being stupid or should I be taking further action!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep in mind there are a LOT of zealots out there who will automatically have completely innocent parents thrown in jail on the first sign of any insecurity in a child!.
Some kids are very insecure for many, many reasons!. It could be a bad dream or even a bladder infection!.!. It could be something far worse, but if you're going to tell anyone make sure it's someone you trust and someone who isn't going to go overboard because I'm sure you have no desire to see innocent people jailed over what very well may be a simple misunderstanding or even like I said, a possible bad dream and simple insecurity or a medical problem!.
Don't get me wrong, it is something to be concerned over, but please be careful and don't just take everyones word here because some of these people are crazier than bat $hit too!.
Make some phone calls to a childrens hospital and ask around before jumping to conclusions!.
You have it in your power to help this kid and you also have it in your power to ruin her life as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anything like this should immediately be reported to your superior and the authorities!. If the day care is in your home, call social services and ask their advice on how to report your suspicions!. Please do not let this go unreported!. It may not be the parent, it may be anyone else, but that is not for you to judge, nor is it your problem, your only responsibility is to report such behavior and suspicions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This little girl sounds like she's trying to tell you something!. When it comes time to wash her, or go potty and she acts out, try to get her to tell you why it makes her upset!. The strange feeling you have about something going on is your woman's instinct!. I would call your local social services dept!. and report everything you know!. You can remain anonymous, or give your name, also tell them how you know what you know!. Trust me, you'll be doing this girl a favor!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Any suspicion of sexual or physical abuse of a child absolutely must be reported:
If you're right and do nothing, this child suffers
If you're wrong and do something, parents may be angry but eventually will realize that your concerns are with the child!.
Please do not hesitate!. Talk with the school director but don't let anyone put you off about this!. A child's safety and well-being may be at stake here!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should have reported that immediately!
Even if you suspect, there NEEDS to be further investigation by the authorities!. You do not have to confront the parents, just report it and the authorities will deal with it!. You won't get in any sort of trouble for reporting any suspicions, in fact it's encouraged, especially children!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You might be right!. This doesn't sound right!. You should ask the girl why she doesn't want to go home !. You can call child welfare and tell them about this , it will be kept confidential and see what they tell you!. Good Luck! I hope and pray that she's not being abused!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
