While domestic investigations are a tool to ensure a child is safe from

family members, children today face other threats. In many households both

parents leave the house for work while childcare is turned over to third

parties. Even licensed professionals are capable of actions that could

endanger a child.

Complete background checks should always be performed before a parent

allows a nanny to care for the child. Leaving a child in the care of a stranger — 

even one with childcare experience – presents a potential risk.

Day care centers are arguably safer, particularly if staffed by multiple people. 

However, neglect and abuse still occur. Centers might be under investigation by

the state but still allowed to operate, and parents should know a center’s history

before entrusting a child to their care. 

Domestic investigation is inexpensive and discreet. Any citizen who suspects a 

child may not be in a safe environment should not hesitate to contact an 

investigative firm.  It is better to hire and investigator and be wrong than to ignore

the situation.
