noticed the scab had come off, there was no bleeding, and at the time they were assisting all
while the licensee was outside removing water from the water slide. Per Staff, they had just come in from water play, and child 1 was crying because they wanted to continue to play.

LPA reviewed interviews, photos, and text message threads. Upon review of the available evidence there is insufficient information to substantiate the allegations.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted. The Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
