Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

The insects were noted to be approximately 8-10 inches long and weighed between 1/2 to 1 pound each. The children were throwing them in the air to see if they could fly. Per recollection of the staff, the children were asked to stop throwing toys to each other; it was then when the child was hit in the forehead with one of the insects. It was alleged that the child went home with an injury to the forehead, described as swollen with a bruise and a lump. Child is no longer attending the facility. Based on all information obtained throughout the investigation, interviews conducted with relevant parties and reviews of children's files, the information obtained is conflicting with the records review and the information provided as evidenced by the incident. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met to indicate that the allegation did or did not occur and/or if the facility staff violated the above allegation during the time in question, allegation as filed with the Department is found to be Unsubstantiated at this time. No deficiencies cited at this time. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to the Director on this date. Notice of Site Visit was posted and must stay posted for 30 days.
