Accused of Child Abuse in Your Profession? Your Job—and Your Future—Are on the Line
Being accused of child abuse or neglect is one of the most stressful and traumatic events a person can experience. These allegations often come with CPS investigations, police interrogations, home visits, and even child removals. But for professionals who work with children—like teachers, daycare providers, and pediatric healthcare workers—the consequences extend even further.
Allegations Can Derail Entire Careers
If your profession puts you in regular contact with minors, an abuse allegation could immediately jeopardize your employment. In many cases, you may be suspended or terminated—even before charges are filed or investigated fully.
Professions at risk include:
- Teachers and school administrators
- Daycare providers and in-home childcare workers
- School bus drivers
- Pediatric nurses and medical staff
- Social workers and counselors
- Attorneys in juvenile or family law settings
Even a false allegation can result in your removal from duty, loss of pay, and permanent damage to your reputation.
The Risk Isn’t Just Your Job—It’s Your License
In Michigan, professionals in licensed occupations fall under the authority of the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). If you’re accused of abuse or neglect in connection with your job, LARA may immediately suspend your license, even before you’ve had a chance to defend yourself in court.
And if charges are pursued or a finding is made against you, you could lose your license permanently, making it impossible to ever return to that field of work again.
For many people, this means:
- Losing their entire career and professional identity
- Being barred from future employment in similar roles
- Suffering long-term financial hardship and emotional distress
- Losing decades of education, training, and experience
