32 | LS conveyed she was aware of Infant Safe Sleep requirements which included but was not limited to placing children under 12 months old in a play pen for a nap on their back without any toys, blankets, or loose items.
Statements provided by S2 & S3 indicated infant(s) napped in a front bedroom or living room area. According to S2, LS put babies in a basket and if a baby needed a blanket, LS covered the child with a blanket. On 09/02/22, the Department received evidence in the form of text messages which depicted an infant under the age of 12 months (C1) sleeping in a basinet that was intended for sleeping instead of a crib. On March 03, 2022, C1 was completely covered with a blanket from the neck down. LPA reviewed the Department records which validated the sender of the text’s contact information matched the contact information on the facility’s public profile which belonged to the Licensee.
Based on LPA’s investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1, is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Exit interview conducted, and report was reviewed with the Licensee, Surya Naebkhel. Appeal rights were provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. |
