During the course of this investigation, LPA Rodriguez observed and conducted confidential interviews with parents and children. Based on confidential interviews it was stated that the licensee has violated children personal rights by using inappropriate language around the children and spanking C1 on their bottom with an open hand. There were no injuries sustained. The spanking occurred due to C1 having an accident and peeing on themselves. The spanking of C1 was corroborated by C2. Based on interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be substantiated. One type B deficiency is being issued today for regulation 102423(a)(4)- (a) Each child receiving services from a family child care home shall have certain rights that shall not be waived or abridged by the licensee regardless of consent or authorization from the child's authorized representative.
