13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marea Behvand met with Director Roberta Manley to close the complaint regarding the allegation that due to a lack of supervision, a day care child (Child #1) sustained injuries while in care. On 03/13/2020 at 9:10 am, LPA toured the facility and a census count was taken of 8 toddlers and 2 staff members. The facility submitted an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) on October 4, 2019 after Child #1's parent (Parent #1) brought the injuries to the attention of facility staff. Investigator Sonia Boyal from the Department's Investigation Branch interviewed Parent #1, facility staff, day care children, parents of day care children, law enforcement, medical professionals, and conducted reviews of both police and medical reports. Based on the IB investigation and reports, LPA determined that although evidence shows that Child #1 was discovered to have burn injuries to the arm and armpit area as well as a red bruise onto the forehead, it is unclear if the injuries occurred at the facility. Since there was not a preponderance of evidence to prove or negate the allegation, the finding is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted and a Notice of Site Visit was posted. |
