Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Veronica Martinez Garza conducted an unannounced Case Management- Incident inspection at the above facility on 12/04/23 at 01:40 p.m. LPA met with Office Manager Diana Bejarano who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Per Office Manager, Principal Josefina Navarro is on vacation and will return on 12/13/23. Census was taken.

The purpose of this inspection is to follow up on an unusual incident report that occurred on 07/10/23 and was reported to the Department by the facility within the required 24 hours of occurrence. The facility self-reported to the Department that allegedly Staff #1 (S1) violated Child #1’s personal rights.

LPA conducted interviews and obtained documentation during visits conducted on 10/12/23, 11/16/23, and 11/21/23.

According to Parent #1 (P1), bruises were observed on C1s wrists on the weekend of July 8, 2023. P1 asked C1 what had happened to C1s wrists, C1 stated S1 hit C1. Per P1, the following Monday July 10, 2023, S1 was asked what had happened to C1 wrists; to which S1 denied having any knowledge of why C1 had bruises on both wrists. P1 also stated that there were pictures taken of C1s both wrists and would be sent to LPA, however, LPA did not receive any pictures. LPA attempted to contact P1 to follow up on the pictures, however, P1 did not return LPAs call. LPA interviewed S1, who denies grabbing C1s wrists. LPA interviewed S2, who witnessed S1 grabbed C1s arms, sit, and restrain C1 for approximately 2 minutes. According to S2, an attempt was made to help intervene and assist S1 with C1, however, S1 said no. S2 also stated that on Monday July 10, 2023, marks were observed on C1 and seemed exactly like how S1 grabbed C1. LPA conducted interviews with C1, C2, and C3, who made no disclosures. LPA also attempted to conduct interviews with P2 thru P5, however, LPA was not able to make contact. LPA conducted an interview with P6, who made no disclosures.
