None of those disprove - in fact, they reinforce - my essential point: 'Why Would You Trust Your Toddler to Strangers?'

'People did bad things in the past, sometimes' doesn't seem much of a counterpoint to people doing bad things now.

In response to your question, ‘Why would you trust…etc ?’ From my own 60 yrs experience of entrusting my children and grand children to crèche, preschool and primary school - I entrust them to these institutions because I believe their staff to be well qualified, kind and competent, and because the children will benefit immeasurably from their care and guidance. Childcare continues to improve though constant scrutiny, public and governmental pressure are necessary to ensure that improvement continues. Consider, for example, the decline and disapproval of corporal punishment of children by parents and in schools over the past 50 Years.
