Jun 2022 Complaint Substantiated
Complaint · June 20, 2022
Substantiated · CCR 102423(a)(4) · Type B
102423(a)(4): ): Personal Rights: “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. These rights include, but are not limited to, the following… infliction of pain…interference with medication or aids to physical functioning.” This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on interview, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above as there was honey syrup administered to C2 without written consent and licensee did put her finger in C2’s mouth to assist C2 with clearing his throat, which poses a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
