Interviews with Licensee and staff revealed that when C1 walks, C1 has a tendency to fall as C1 is still learning to walk. Both Licensee and staff did not recall an incident that occurred that could have caused a fracture to C1’s right leg. S1 noticed that there was something wrong with C1 after lunch, when C1 would not bear weight on the right leg and did not want to put their leg all the way down but had the right leg lifted. C1 cried once when falling but Licensee stated C1 was okay. Licensee text the parents of C1 before naptime to ask if they had noticed C1 not bearing any weight on the leg. Parents denied C1 not bearing any weight on the leg that morning. After naptime, C1 continued to lift the leg when standing and would not bear any weight on the leg. No additional text or phone calls were made. Interviews and surveillance revealed that the fracture C1 sustained is considered an impaction fracture, or a “buckle” fracture. Interviews with medical professionals concluded that the fracture injury was consistent with the fall observed in video surveillance footage obtained and was reasonable and appropriate with the time of the fall. Based on interviews, observation and record review, the allegation that child sustained an unexplained fracture while in care may have occurred, however is not supported, or proven by evidence. Therefore, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Leticia Bee on the above-mentioned date. A copy of this report, LIC 811 Confidential Names List and Appeal Rights were given and explained to Licensee Leticia Bee. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) was posted where the parent/guardian of children enter and exit the facility. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) must remain posted for 30 consecutive days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.
