A complaint investigation was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), N. Cunningham. It has been alleged that the licensee forced a child to nap. It was also alleged that the licensee violated a child’s personal rights; specifically, the licensee forced a child to wear a pull-up diaper for an extended time and refused to return a child's personal items. On 08/17/22, LPA conducted an interview with the reporting party. On 8/23/22 at 12:10 pm, LPA Cunningham met with Licensee Brooks, to discuss the allegations. Licensee Brooks stated that she does not force children to nap or wear a pull-up diaper. Licensee Brooks also stated that if she is unable to contact a parent she will pass along items to other children who can use them. LPA Cunningham obtained a copy of the facility roster. Licensee Brooks stated she was not providing care for children due to a personal matter. On 09/19/22, Community Care Licensing (CCL) learned that the licensee was no longer providing care. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation s occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. The facility license was closed.
