Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Ivet Zamora Perez and Licensing Program Manager (LPM), Melchisedeck Augustin made a subsequent complaint investigation inspection and met with Licensee (LS), Diana Cuevas, to deliver the finding regarding the above allegation. LPA Rosales-Meza met with LS on 03/16/26 to open the complaint. It was alleged that a daycare child was sexually abused in the home, specifically that a minor in the home (C3) abused two other children in the home (C1 and C2).

The Department’s Investigations Bureau (IB) obtained law enforcement (PD) reports and document(s) from other external agencies, validating that two victims (C1 & C2) were interviewed in 2021, and interviews confirmed they were sexually abused by another minor child (C3) from approximately 2011-2013 and 2016-2018. The interviews indicated that sexual abuse occurred in the playroom, a bedroom or bathroom of the licensee’s home.
