25 | On 3/16/23, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Martha De Haro and Ka Vang arrived at the facility to complete an unannounced Case Management Inspection regarding an Unusual Incident Report received at the Community Care Licensing Office (CCL-Fresno) on 02/27/2023.
Today's case management inspection is to discuss the incident that the licensee reported to have occurred on 02/22/23. Per the licensee, she indicated that one of her day care children was complaining that her "privates hurt." Per the licensee, she stated that she called the mother to ask if she could check the little girl's private area since she was complaining about having pain. She stated that the mother was fine with her checking her daughter. Per the licensee, she took the child into the bathroom and found that the child had blood on her underwear. She cleaned the child and then called the mother to tell her what she found. She stated that the mom asked if she needed to pick up the child and the licensee told the mother that it was not necessary. Per the licensee, when the mother came to pick up the child, the licensee asked the mother to fill out a form stating that she would take the child to the doctor. The licensee stated that the mother became angry and tried to storm out. The licensee stated that she was able to have the mother sign the form but she has not heard from the mother since. She stated that the child has not returned to her day care since that day. She stated that the mother also asked her not to text her anymore, which she has not. The licensee stated that the mother also said that she did not want to deal with the licensee having past history of having arguments with her mother. The licensee felt that the child may have had an infection and she never suspected foul play.
During record review, LPAs observed that the licensee and the assistant were not current with their Mandated Reporter Training (AB1207). The last training was completed on 10/05/20 for both. Per licensee, she and her assistant thought that their trainings were still current. A Type B deficiency was issued during today's inspection as it posed a health, safety, and personal rights risk to children in care.
Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, of the California Code of Regulations, a deficiency was cited during today's inspection. (See Page LIC809-D for additional information).
A copy of appeal rights was given. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit is provided and required to be posted for 30 days. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Angelica Valenzuela.
