32 | Interview with staff Griselda Navarro. Below is a summary of interview:
Staff stated while putting kids to sleep she sat against the back to wall to pat Devyn and another child for nap. While patting, she noticed another child grab food off the floor and approached child to stop them and then returned to pat Devyn. Devyn was standing on her mat, so staff said to Devyn “night night time” grabbed arm (demonstrated on LPA by gently grabbing arm around wrist) and D went down on her mat on her own. Staff stated, in the class, music was on but not loud or noisy because some children were asleep already but could not remember other children were crying at the time but added “Devyn was not crying.”
Once Vivianna came to the class to relieve for lunch Griselda left. Staff stated, after returning from lunch all the other teachers were talking about” Ms Tia went to the office and said you slapped Devyn in the face… I was told Tia was telling everybody to check her (Devyn’s) face.” Staff stated, a lot of kids lay down and their face is red because of their blankets or the plastic framing cause it. Staff told co-worker “I never slapped her” and teachers Rawnak and Vivianna said they did not see or hear a hit or hear Devyn cry.
Staff stated she was soon called in to the office to speak with the AD. Staff denied hitting child to AD and refused to complete a written statement “because I was so mad because I did not do it” and left the facility. |
