This complaint inspection was conducted by Complaint Specialist - LPA Karen Chambers who met with Lizabeth Aguirre Site Supervisor for the purpose of conducting interviews and providing the finding for the above pending allegation.

During the course of this investigation, interviews were conducted with Staff and day-care children. Documents from other agencies were also obtained and reviewed. There were no disclosures made by the day-care children during their interviews. Statements made by child #1 during their interview were inconsistent. Staff including the staff member in question denied having hurt or seen anyone hurt child #1. Staff had no knowledge of any injury having been sustained by chid #1.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegation is unsubstantiated

Unsubstantiated
