LPA Ortega toured the Family Child Care Home(FCCH): Present today was Provider, two Assistants and 8 children.

During this investigation, LPA received pertinent document related to this investigation, which included FCCH Roster, declaration, staff, parent, and child interviews. The investigation revealed that the licensee placed a weighted vest and ankle weights on child #1 for 1 to 2 minutes to calm the child, without guardian consent or authorization from a licensed physician. As a result, Child #1 was not provided a comfortable environment, constituting a violation of the child’s personal rights. This is a type B deficiency which poses a potential health and safety risk to children in care.
