Daycare abuse cases in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata highlight risks like untrained staff, poor child ratios, and weak accountability. Parents should follow a 7-point checklist, verify licenses, CCTV access, staff checks, safety, and hygiene. Watch for behavioral changes or injuries. If abuse is suspected, gather proof, file FIR under POCSO, and report to NCPCR or helpline 1098.
