To determine whether or not you have a viable case, you may consider consulting with an attorney who practices civil law and criminal law.
You may also consider filing a police report. If you file a report, request a copy and keep it for your records.
You may also consider reporting the daycare and/or individual(s) involved to the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P), which was formerly known as the Divison of Youth and Family Services (DYFS).
