On 06/25/2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Marx and Schwartz, met with Licensee, Sonya Harris, to deliver complaint findings alleging that the provider did not provide adequate supervision to day care children resulting in day care child sexually abusing another day care child and that the provider did not report incident to CCL.

Throughout the course of the investigation, LPAs Marx and Schwartz reviewed facility records and Investigator Gonzalez conducted interviews with children, authorized representatives, the licensee and the licensee’s spouse/assistant.

Investigator Gonzalez determined by interview, that children were not being supervised in the early morning of daycare hours, which resulted in a 6 year old child being sexually abused by a 14 year old child. The investigation revealed that at least two children were sexually abused at this facility by another day care child, due to a lack of supervision.
