On July 5, 2024 at 11:20 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jacob Salem and Abby Saeteurn met with Alicia Rogers, Protective Services Program Manager of A.B. Jessie and Polinsky Children’s Center (PCC) to deliver the finding for the above-stated allegation. The investigation was conducted by Special Investigator (SI) Hector Quintanar, who interviewed the Child (C1), a Protective Services Supervisor, a Resource Parent, and a Relative. In addition, LPA Salem interviewed Staff (S1-S6) and a County Social Worker. Pertinent records were obtained and reviewed.

On March 26, 2024, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received an allegation that Staff (unnamed) sexually abused a minor (C1) in care. Confidential interviews and records reviewed indicated that while living at PCC, C1 disclosed that “somebody touched me.” Confidential interviews and records reviewed indicated that C1 declined to say who they were touched by or where the touching occurred but denied it happened at PCC.

A confidential interview with C1 disclosed that C1 was not touched inappropriately while residing at PCC. Confidential interviews and a record review of special incident reports and physician notes disclosed that during the time C1 made their initial disclosure that “somebody touched me,” C1 suffered from reoccurring pain in their genital area and would wear several pairs of pants at the same time for no apparent reason. A confidential interview and record review of physician notes revealed that after C1 agreed to be visually examined, there were no observable signs of abuse. Confidential interviews indicated that C1 did not disclose being sexually abused to staff in C1’s residential unit and that supervising staff on various shifts had no concerns of abuse occurring.

Based on confidential interviews and records reviewed, the allegation that Staff (unnamed) sexually abused a minor (C1) in care is unsubstantiated. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

An exit interview was conducted with Alicia Rogers, Protective Services Program Manager and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided and explained.
