complaint·September 15, 2022

The facility is reporting that the child sustained an injury while in care. Staff 5 is reporting that Staff 5 did not observe the incident but sent the parent a text message with a picture of the child notifying the parent that the child sustained an injury. Staff 6 wrote the Incident Report that was given to the parent of the child. According to the incident report the child tripped over the child’s own shoes which caused the child to fall face first. LPA has not been able to make contact with Staff 6. Based on the evidence obtained, LPA is unable to determine if the child was properly supervised at the time of the incident. Therefore, the allegation is determined Unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the allegation occurred. A copy of this report, Notice of Site Visit, and Appeal Rights were explained and provided to the Director Tina Roberts and Administrator Tammy Jacquin.
