IDC LEADER JEFF KLEIN - Hidden Dangers in Day Care



STATEMENT FROM
INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE LEADER JEFF KLEIN

Knowing children are safe while in day care will bring great relief to parents across this state. In November, I released an alarming investigation, "The Hidden Dangers in Day Care," exposing violation-ridden facilities. We've unfortunately seen cases where under providers' watches children were seriously injured and in nightmarish cases children have died. This is simply unacceptable. That's why I carried the torch in the Senate to increase transparency for our parents and crack down on bad actors. We unanimously passed this measure in the Senate. I also led the charge to place report cards on every day care in New York City, letting parents see vital information right at the door. This passed both houses and will soon be signed into law. I applaud Governor Cuomo for taking emergency action yesterday to ensure that children across this state are safe while in day care.
