On 07/18/22 at 2:30PM, LPA, Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced complaint visit at the facility today to deliver the findings regarding the above listed allegation. During the course of the investigation, co-licensees Barbara and Edd Starks and daughter assistant Ardawnna Starks were interviewed. Contacts were made with relevant worker counterparts from other investigating public agencies. Related documents and reports from those outside agencies were also reviewed.

Based on the information gathered, a child death occurred at the facility on 04/14/22. However, based on the medical examimer's report, which has not yet been finalized, the cause of death was likely due to natural causes. The San Diego Police Departmen also found nothing unusual or alarming or any indication of trauma or foul play in regard to the incident. As the final medical examiner's report is still pending, it was determined that it could neither conclusively be proved or disproved that a lack of supervision occurred and lead to the death of the day care infant or that there was culpability on the part of the providers. Although 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, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Unsubstantiated
