    42. Written Release Procedures Group: Sec. 7-44, Ordinance and DCF Handbook (42-03)

    Sec. 7-44(a), Ordinance: In order to be accountable for the children in care, to facilitate the release process, and to ensure the safety of the children in its care, the child care facility must have, implement, and follow written procedures for the release of children. There was no written release procedure on file at the facility. Comments: Complaint alleges that the child care released a child to an unauthorized individual on March 20, 2025. On March 25, 2025, the father picked the child up and the facilitator advised that the son is no longer welcome back to the daycare anymore. FINDINGS: A complaint inspection was conducted on 3/27/2025 and a statement from the director was received. Per the director, she stated that the father was running late to pick up the child so he asked that the child be released to a friend. The director stated that she saw him via video phone call and she knows it was the father authorizing the release. The father did not provide a password when authorizing the release. The child's file was checked for compliance and the father is listed on the application as the father of the child. There is nothing on file preventing the father from picking up or allowing another individual to pick up the child. The director was given technical assistance on documenting a password for both parents to provide to the school in cases that an individual not on the pickup list picks up the child, unless there is court documentation on file limiting the rights of one party. This complaint is substantiated. TRANSPORTATION 43. Vehicle Requirements Group: Sec. 7-45, Ordinance, DCF Handbook, and Sec. 316.615, Florida Statutes Not Monitored 44.
