(continued from page 1) C1 initially did not disclose inappropriate action by licensee, but later in the interview stated that licensee squeezed C1 by the chin. Interviews were conducted with three other children in care at the family child care home on 3/17/2021. None of the children disclosed witnessing or knowing of any children being handled in a rough manner by licensee. Through the interviews that were conducted by LPA, LPA Marks could not determine that licensee handled child (C1) in a rough manner. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the allegation violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
