32 | The Licensee was not present at the facility when the child was picked up. Facility staff are reporting that the child did not have any marks during pick up and that the child did not sustain any injuries while in care.
The child’s parent called the facility right after picking up the child to inquire about the red markings on the child’s face. The facility notified the child’s parent that the facility did not know how the child received the red marks on the face.
LPA received images of the childs face where it is clearly visible that the child has red markings on the left cheek from mouth to ear. There are two red lines that come from the child’s ear and meat near the child’s mouth. There are small dotes in the child’s ear that are dark like bruises, that are within the lines of the red marks. The child has light complexion and the red marks are clearly visible. The child was taken to the hospital for the red marks on the face and the child was seen by a Doctor for “facial contusion, but no other injuries or suspicion of injury, all else appeared normal.”
After considering all available information, the child had unexplained red markings to the left side of the cheek and dark bruise like dots in the left ear; and the facility is not able to explain what happened to the child. Based on interviews which were conducted and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
One Type B citation is being issued under California code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1, are being cited on the attached LIC9099D.
The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) – must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.
A copy of this Report (LIC9099 & LIC9099D), Appeal Rights, and Notice of Site Visit were reviewed and provided to the Licensee KARINE AGSHEHIRLYAN. |
