Concerns about child safety at daycare centres in French speaking regions are climbing.
Swiss French TV reports of abuse and neglect trebled between 2018 and 2024. In Geneva alone, the number went from 11 to 47 in the same period.
Reporters heard stories of babies being forgotten in dark rooms, force feeding, expired foods and lack of staff.
Some parents say they worry about making a complaint because they may lose their place at the centre.
