4 children and 1 staff were interviewed on 8/28/24 between 10:05am and 10:30am. S1 stated that they were in the kitchen area of the house while licensee was in the doorway to the playroom when C1 was injured so didn't see the accident but corroborated the licensee's explanation. S1 also relayed the same information regarding children touching one another inappropriately; that it is "nothing out of the ordinary" and easily correctable. Of the 4 children interviewed, two children reported occasional butt "slapping" and said when it happens the teacher tells them to "not touch butts" or "not to touch other people's bodies" and they were "watched really good". On 9/23/24, LPA Elizabeth Friese conducted interviews with 2 parents of children in care. Both reported no concerns with supervision, communication, or inappropriate touching. P2 did reference \342\200\234smacking butts\342\200\235 between children and felt that the licensee handled the situations appropriately. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated.
