Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Brian Morris made a subsequent unannounced complaint investigation visit to deliver the findings for the above reference allegation. LPAs met with Director Brenda Garcia, who was informed of the decision rendered. During this visit, LPA toured facility, took census and verified facility staff. LPA Morris interviewed children and parents of the facility. LPA Morris also made contact with Officer Christopher Colon with the Hemet Police Department and was informed that they would not be taking any action regarding minor-on-minor sexual allegations.

Based on interviews conducted and information gathered, LPA Morris was unable to corroborate the allegation that a daycare child was sexually abused. LPA Morris attempted to interview Child #1 (C1); however, the child’s parent reported that C1 had relocated out of state. LPA Morris also attempted to interview Child #2 (C2) and Child #3 (C3), but was unable to obtain information related to the allegation or gather pertinent details regarding the incident. Interviews with staff were conducted as well.

Staff denied the allegation, stating they were unaware of any such incident, and reported that two staff members are always present when children use the restroom. LPA Morris interviewed the parent of C1, who confirmed that C1 was not taken to the hospital for evaluation and that no physical evidence of sexual abuse was obtained. Based on the information available, LPA Morris determined that the allegation of sexual abuse due to lack of supervision is unsubstantiated.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was conducted. The appeal rights were discussed and provided along with a copy of this report to Director Brenda Garcia on this date. A Notice of Site Visit was posted.
