The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Act
- by: Jacqueline Boatwright, The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Act/Juan's Law
- recipient: John Barrow, Congressman, U.S. House of Representatives
Child Daycare Centers are NOT required to carry liability insurance!
How can people who take care of children under a state license not be required to carry liability insurance? Every day children are maimed and/or killed while they are in the hands of child day care providers. When there is no insurance, such as in my case, parents have no recourse when terrible things happen to their children while they are entrusted in the hands of child day care providers. Let us not forget daycare is a for profit business and these people are taking our hard earned money and not adequately protecting our children. This must stop.
I am seeking at least 50,000 signatures. If more is reached then that is a plus. Please sign this petition and help me protect children across our country. Please write your full legal name, and address. You must be at least 18 years of age to sign. Please note if you sign on from a computer that has a signature just click that you are not the person who previously signed and you will be allowed to sign.
If you work in a facility where you can obtain mass signatures please forward this email to all of your co-workers. Thank you so much for helping me protect our children.
Dear Citizens, My name is Jacqueline Boatwright and I am in need of your support by way of signature for “The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Act.” I am the mother of a 8 year old little boy who nearly drowned at his state licensed child day care center when he was 14 months old. He is still on life support today. In addition, I was left with the responsibility of millions of dollars for my son's medical care. You may read more about him and our ordeal at www.anthonydejuan.com.
This law will not help my son or our situation because it is after the fact but help me help your family by signing this petition and spreading the word of its importance. This is a time sensitive matter so please relay that to your friends and contacts by asking them to sign as soon as possible.

I learned that 42 states in our country, including Georgia, do not require state licensed child day care centers to carry liability insurance nor are they required to tell the parent this information. On June 28, Congressman John Barrow introduced a federal law that would require child day care centers to inform parents of whether or not they are insured. We deserve the right to know in order to make more informed decisions about where to leave our children.

The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Act
The Anthony DeJuan Boatwright Act, does NOT require daycare providers to carry liability insurance, however it adds important criteria that states must meet in order to receive federal Child Care & Development Block Grants.
1. Recommends to day care providers that they carry liability insurance.
2. Requires day care providers to post publicly and conspicuously whether they have liability insurance; give written notice to parents about whether or not they have liability insurance; get a signature by at least one parent per child on this notice; and maintain the signed notice while the child receives care, and for one year thereafter.
This may one of the most important laws ever implemented in effort to protect children while in the hands of child day care providers.
