Community Spotlight

What Prompted Her Pursuit of Advocacy HOW CASSIE BECAME AN ADVOCATE FOR SAFER DAYCARES Cassie Limoges initially reached out to The Button Law Firm when she saw an advertisement for our daycare seminar. The topic hit close to home for her. In addition to being a nurse practitioner who works with sick children and families every day, Cassie has been personally affected by a negligent daycare. Her child was injured at daycare, and, since that experience, she has become an advocate to prevent daycare negligence. “Going through that experience has furthered my passion for educating members of the community on how to be aware of signs and symptoms of child abuse,” Cassie says.

We were fortunate to have Cassie share her own experience and knowledge at our seminar. As Cassie says, “When our family was in that situation, it became evident that even with the extensive knowledge and background I had, it was a difficult process to go through. I want to help families know how to pick up on some of the signs of abuse and know what red flags to look out for.” In her presentation, Cassie highlighted some of the subtle signs that a child may be a victim of abuse. “In terms of physical abuse, if something doesn’t fit or make sense with the story you’re given, it’s a red flag that something isn’t right. Bruising on the ear of an infant or young toddler, bruising to the abdominal area, and concerning or suspicious bruises on nonmobile (not walking or crawling) children are symptoms to look for,” Cassie shares.

When she’s not volunteering as an advocate, Cassie is hard at work for children who are very sick. Her first position in nursing school was in a pediatric unit, and “from that moment on, I developed a love and passion for the pediatric population,” she says. We are grateful for Cassie’s knowledge and look forward to collaborating for future daycare seminars. Thanks so much for what you do in our community!
