25 | On 09/20/2022, Regional Manager (RM) Alice Juarez, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Luisa Gavoutian and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Norma Lomeli who is Bilingual certified, arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced case management inspection. The purpose of the inspection was to address a deficiency observed during a complaint investigation. LPA Lomeli provided interpretation services to Spanish-speaking Licensee, Victoria Ramirez.
Based upon the interviews and information which were obtained through the Investigations Bureau and the Farmersville Police Department, in late April 2021, the licensee left the facility. While away from the facility, Staff #1 was left in charge of the day care children with Individual #1(I1) being present. While in care I1 guided Child #1 to an off-limits area and sexually abused them.
Based on information gathered it was determined the licensee was made aware of the abuse but failed to report this incident to the Community Care Licensing Office within the time allotted per reporting requirements.
Per California Code of Regulation, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3 deficiency is being cited LIC809-D. LPA Lomeli informed licensee Victoria Ramirez that this report dated 09/20/2022 documents one Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.
Also, LPA Lomeli informed the licensee to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 09/20/2022 that documents any Type A citations to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification. Licensee stated that she thoroughly understood the interpretation services provided by LPA Lomeli. |
