complaint·June 28, 2022

LPA obtained a copy of the police report from the County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, which was referred to the Special Victims Bureau. On 05/27/2022 and 06/27/2022, LPA contacted the Detective with the Special Victims Bureau, who had not conducted interviews or had an update for the allegation. The confidential interviews revealed pertinent parties denying the allegation. There were no disclosures from other parents/guardians or children that the alleged incident occurred. Multiple interviews denied concerns regarding the care and supervision provided by the family child care home. The Licensee and Assistant denied the allegation. Due to inconsistent statements, the information obtained did not corroborate with the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that personal rights were violated; therefore, the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated. Appeal rights were provided and discussed with the Licensee. No deficiencies were cited. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report was provided to Licensee, Luisa Navarro.
