LPA also interviewed Staff #1 (S1) and Staff #2 (S2). Both staff provided the same information. On 12/13/24 at approximately 3:30pm, when P1 picked C1 up, S1 informed P1 in front of the facility entrance door about C1’s red mark and the conversation was recorded on Ringer Camera.

LPA reviewed footage on Ringer Camera recording dated 12/13/24 3:35 PM. LPA confirmed that on 12/13/24 approximately 3:30 PM S1 informed P1 about red mark on C1’s ear. Video footage had P1 who stated (in Spanish) “I had not seen that, I think it’s because C1 cries a lot in the car seat, and I think it was this morning because yesterday in the night I checked C1 because I had seen something here (pointing to C1’s back).

LPA requested Santa Ana Police Department Report on 1/28/25 for 1/22/25 facility visit report. The police report stated, “after conducting police officer interviews and considering the lack of witness or evidence, police officer determined that the allegations of child abuse were unfounded".

Based on LPA’s interviews and record review, it was determined the facility was in compliance with regulations and no deficiency was observed.
