13 | LPA Diana Campos met with Area Manager Monica Williams for a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. Present for the investigation were 5 staff and 8 children in care consisting of 5 toddlers and 3 infants. It was alleged that a child in care sustained unexplained injuries. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted. Per interviews conducted a child sustained small bruises on her knees and shins as well as scratches on her back and face. Per staff, children obtain small bruises and scratches as a result of playing or falling, and these are not always noticeable to staff if a child does not display any signs of discomfort. Per staff interviews, if an injury does occur it may be accidental. Interviews disclosed that although children have sustained occasional scratches, these minor injuries have occurred as a result of normal routines of children play time. Based on the investigative findings, there was no evidence that proved whether or not the injuries occurred while in care. In addition, there was no evidence to prove or disprove that, if the injury did occur, it was due to lack of supervision. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
Exit interview conducted and report reviewed with Area Manager Monica Williams.
