25 | An unannounced case management visit was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mindy Mohr in response to a self - reported incident involving child (C1) that occurred at the facility on 10/31/2024. During today's visit, LPA met with the Site Supervisor, Paloma Escalante De Burrow to discuss this incident. It was reported by the site supervisor that C1 was taken into the restroom by S2 to have their diaper changed. While C1 was in the restroom with S2, C1 was heard by 3 staff yelling and screaming "don't touch me" "stop" and "you are hurting me". The 3 staff who heard C1 were inside the classroom with music playing. The restroom is located outside next to the classroom. The door to the classroom was closed, while the door to the restroom was open. S1 stated when staff heard C1 yelling and screaming she immediately went into the restroom to help S2 with C1. When S1 walked into the restroom C1 was panicked, upset and crying. S1 stated she observed S2 holding C1 down over their knee, while trying to wipe C1. S1 told S2 she will take over, to which S2 replied with “no, I got this” and would not allow S1 to take over with changing C1. S1 stated she did take over and asked S2 to return to the classroom. S1 was able to calm C1 down and finished cleaning C1, and they both returned to the classroom.
C1 stated that they yelled at S2 because S2 was hurting them. C1 further stated that they asked S2 to stop but they wouldn’t, S2 just kept wiping and wiping, and it was burning. C1 also stated that S1 helped them to feel better. Furthermore, it was reported by both S1 and S3 that they have observed S2 speaking in an aggressive manner towards children while S3 specifically stated S2 loses their patience quickly with the children.
This incident was reported to Community Care Licensing as required per regulation. The site supervisor reported that S2 no longer works at the facility, and the last day S2 was at the facility was on 10/31/2024.
