and the Velcro possibly scratched him during nap time. Licensee added she tended to the child during nap time and soothed him due to child’s crying. Licensee stated at no other time did child show signs of distress and she did not witness child being struck by anyone.
Based on further evaluation of the child’s medical records, it was determined the marks on child were treated and classified as Ecchymosis (bruising). Doctor reported that the marks on child’s neck could only be caused by some sort of force striking his neck and added that the Velcro could not have caused the injury.
This agency has investigated the complaint regarding neglect/lack of supervision resulting in unexplained injuries to child while in care. Based on information gathered and conflicting statements received during the investigation and interviews, the neglect/lack of supervision allegation is determined to be unsubstantiated. While the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
During the course of the investigation, it was discovered the Licensee failed to notify the Community Care Licensing (CCL) Regional Office Child Care about a child who received medical attention as required by regulations of alleged incident which occurred on or about 6/24/19, investigated by Investigator Murrow and found to be unsubstantiated. LPA Hawkins informed Licensee Title 22 regulations require any reportable incidents to be reported to CCL within 24 hours and a written incident report is to be submitted to CCL within 7 days. Licensee failed to comply with the above regulations, the facility is being cited for Reporting Requirements Section 102416.2(b)(1) of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12.
