CANTON, Ohio -- Stories of abuse will make any parent afraid if they have children in day-care facilities.

But NewsChannel5's Jonathan Costen reported that a couple of Stark County businessmen have found a unique way to use computers and cameras to calm parents' nerves.

Dr. Michael Brown, a father with a child in day care, has all the confidence in the world in the staff.

"(But) once in a while, like all 2-year-olds, (he) will lay a guilt trip on you when you leave and they're screaming and crying and snot's rolling down," he said.

Brown's child-care center is part of a pilot program that sets up computer boxes and cameras for parents. He uses a private password to log onto the Internet and check in on his son.

"You get to log in and see that two minutes after you left, they're playing and happy and smiling," he said.

John Draggi, 26, and his partner, Carl Witt, have big plans to sell their service, A-B-See Cams, to day cares across the country. The child-care center would, in turn, offer the service to parents when they enroll their children.

They expect the idea to take off.

"Especially first-time parents leaving them at a day care, their nerves are high, the anxiety is high," Witt said. "This is something (that) can help calm down their nerves."

The owner of one child-care center thinks the cameras will be good.

"Child-care centers get a lot of bad publicity, especially in the recent past," Susan Altier said.

But admittedly, it took some getting used to having Big Brother watching.

"Just knowing that you can be watched at any time, it is a very stressful environment," Altier said. "Without cameras, we do have walk-out areas where they can go if they just (want) a breather."

Draggi and Witt said they're getting calls from across the country.
