Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Judy Mora contacted the facility via telephone. LPA Mora identified herself and spoke to Licensee Angelica Benavides. LPA discussed the purpose of the call. The call was then transferred to Facetime. Licensee's husband, John Benavides and Licensee's mother, Maria Cuevas were also present during the inspection. LPA visually observed 14 children present at 3:20 PM. LPA Mora found that during interviews conducted with children, disclosures were made in regards to a Personal Rights violation conducted by the Licensee and/or the licensee's husband. Disclosures indicated that children are made to stand in the corner when they are in trouble. More than 1 child disclosed this information. This is an immediate risk to the health and safety of children in care.
