On 9/16/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Theresa Marquez conducted a complaint inspection to provide finding regarding the above allegation. LPA Marquez met with Licensee, Bessie Simmons-Brown. LPA explained and discussed the above allegation and finding with licensee.

Community Care Licensing Division-Investigations Branch Investigator Maria Lomeli conducted the investigation which included a review of records and documentation, as well as interviews with licensee, children in care, parents of children in care, and the local police department associated to this case. Investigation conducted revealed that Child #1 statements conflicted with the statements of the minor in the home. Therefore, although the above allegation may have happened and/or is valid, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
