On October 16, 2025, at 2:50pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Laura Chavez conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with licensee Oralia Kruse. It was alleged that an adult in the home (A1) sexually abused children in care.

The Department’s Investigations Bureau (IB) Investigator, Austin Blatnik, coordinated with local law enforcement to conduct the investigation. IB obtained evidence that at least three minor victims (C1-C3) were forensically interviewed and made disclosures about being sexually abused by A1. According to at least one of the victims, the licensee did not witness the abuse but had some knowledge of it and told the child to stop lying about it.

Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
