yard where the climbing structure resides is closed down. Interviews conducted with (C1-C3) could not prove the incident occurred as all three children could not recall the incident. Interviews conducted with (C4) were inconsistent and provided conflicting information in regard to the incident and denied the allegation when interviewed by IB. Based on interviews and record review by Investigator Hartigan, it could not be determined if the incident did in fact occur and/or the said incident occurred due to a lack of supervision by facility staff. At this time, no citation would be issued for a lack of supervision by facility staff.

Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days from today's inspection.

There were no Title 22 deficiencies cited during today's inspection.
