25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cortney Nelson, met with Licensee, Debbie Hurley, to follow-up on incident that occurred on 2/9/2024. The incident was self reported to the Department by the Licensee on 2/14/2024. Upon arrival, there were seven (7) children (three (3) infants, four (4) preschool-age) the Licensee and Assistant (S1) present, which is compliant with the home license capacity requirements.
On 2/9/2024, two school-age children in care (C1 & C2) engaged in taking inappropriate pictures with an iPad during nap time. The children were positioned behind the couch and were not supervised during this time to prevent the photos from occurring. During interviews conducted by the LPA with individuals affiliated with the incident, there was a statement that the Licensee was sleeping, however the Licensee has stated this is not true. Follow-up has been conducted since the incident occurred and the Licensee states that she is not planning to allow iPads at her family child care home (FCCH) moving forward. A child has additionally been removed from attendance at the FCCH.
