Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

A case management visit is being conducted in response to the receipt of an unusual incident report (UIR) from the facility. The UIR was received by the licensing agency on 4/23/26. It indicates that an authorized representative of a child reported that their child stated that a temporary staff member "smacked" them on their butt with a toy while playing outside, multiple times on 4/10/26. No injuries were reported. Pertinent parties were interviewed and facility records were reviewed, including video footage. Based on the information gathered, the following violations have been identified: the licensee did not prevent a temporary staff member from smacking a child in care on the butt with a toy multiple times. The "smacks" would not be considered "gentle" and would not be considered "hard" either. See LIC809D for cited deficiencies of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Div. 12. A notice of site visit was given to facility representative Leiann Fabian and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. An exit interview was conducted, appeal rights discussed, and a copy of this report was provided to facility representative Leiann Fabian.
