LPA Brannon provided an amended complaint report. LPA Yanez provided Spanish translation for the updated complaint report dated 7/22/2021.
Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Brannon and Iglesias conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to provide findings for the above allegation. LPA Iglesias provided Spanish translation during today’s visit. LPAs met with licensee, Maria Cosio. LPA Iglesias reviewed the allegation, and toured the facility, inside and outside. LPAs observed day care children, foster children with their parent.
LPAs observed a fly swatter in license’s home. When questioned, licensee stated that she did take the fly swatter into the playroom when disciplining child #1. By taking the fly swatter into the playroom when disciplining a child, this is a form of intimidation and is a violation of the child’s personal rights. Licensee’s actions of grabbing child #2 by the arm, as a restraint, resulting in child #2 sustaining a scratch that broke the skin. This is a personal rights violation. Children in care have the right to be free from infliction of pain.
