***page 2*** Staff added that all the children were being closely supervised during the outside play time. Staff #3 (S3) reports hearing Child#1 (C1) who was playing nearby, start to cry. S3 states they then proceeded to approach the child to assess the need and guided child away from the sand area to be seated on the bench. While guiding C1, S3 reports noticing blood on the front of C1’s pants. Orange County social worker reported that Child Protective Services (CPS) investigated and findings were unfounded for any suspected abuse. Social worker added that medical professionals could not determine the cause of the child’s bleeding, however there was no indication of any breaking of the skin or entry to the body consistent with abuse. C1 who was involved in the incident, and other children from the classroom, who were identified as being outside during the time of the allege incident were not qualified to be interviewed due to developmental level. Parent of C1 reported it was unknown what caused the incident with C1 and added that there were no symptoms determined by the medical professionals that indicated trauma or anything inappropriate occurred. Other parents interviewed were satisfied with the care and supervision children received and had no concerns.
