Follow-up on corrections·March 22, 2021

**Please note: Due to COVID-19, a tele-inspection is being conducted in lieu of an in-person/physical inspection*** On 3/22/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samuel Lopez contacted Licensee, Yasmin Ledesma-Perez, via Whats App, to address and conclude an issue previously discussed on 1/13/2021. This Case Management Tele-inspection is being conducted to address a separate issue that was discovered while gathering information during an investigating. LPA Lopez learned that an incident involving a visit from law enforcement occurred on December 23, 2020. The issue was that the licensee, initially, refused to release a child to one of the parents. Although the licensee eventually released the child to the parent, per a legal court order that the licensee had been aware of, the licensee failed to report the incident to the Department. The licensee disclosed the incident only after LPA Lopez made contact on January 13, 2021. The regulations, in Title 22, require licensees to report such incidents to the Department, verbally within 24 hours of its occurrence or knowledge, and in writing within 7 days. The facility was found to be a violation of the following Title 22 regulation: 102416.2 (b) Reporting Requirement: The licensee shall report to the Department any of the events as specified in Health and Safety Code Sections 1597.467(b)(1)(A) through (b)(3)(C) that occur during the operation of the family childcare home. See LIC 809-D for cited deficiency An exit interview was held, and a copy of this report was sent, via email, to Yasmin Ledesma-Perez. ***This report was sent via email on 3/22/2021. Yasmin has agreed to reply or to acknowledge that she has received it, via read receipt. This will serve as Yasmin’s signature***
