32 | LPA Ruiz investigated the above allegation and gathered the following information:
It was alleged that on or about the month of September 2022, Children’s Personal Rights were violated.
It was also disclosed during the investigation process that Child#1 reported to a parent/legal guardian that he/she was being bullied by other children in care. It was also alleged that multiple incidents were also brought to the staff members’ attention that were not resolved or address by the site director. LPA Ruiz obtained information of the time and date of incident located in classroom. After conducting interviews with pertinent parties, LPA Ruiz was able to gather enough information that states the alleged incidents occurred. However, it was disclosed that children were name calling each other and fighting over items because they did not have the skills to sort out their disagreements. It was clarified by interviews that they were not any physical altercations between children in the presence of staff at the facility.
Director acknowledged the alleged incidents led to an in person meeting with parent/legal guardian of
Child# 1, Staff#1 and other parties involved to clarify the incident; and to come to a resolution by assessing child’s well-being and needs, as well as to acknowledge child’s Personal Rights. After a thorough review of all information obtained it was determined that the facility has implemented changes by reassessing all children's needs.
Based on the information obtained during the course of the investigation, there is conflicting information regarding the allegation. Although allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore allegations are deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
An exit interview was conducted with Site Coordinator, Sandra Robles appeal rights discussed. Licensees understands that the Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for the next 30 days.
