Childrens Records [SR] Comments: Complaint alleges that child had a hand print on her leg that resulted in an open DCF case. FINDINGS: A complaint inspection was conducted on 9/18/2025 and a statement from the teacher (JA) and assistant teacher (MM)was received. Per the assistant teacher (MM), it was story time in the morning. The child would get picked up at 11:30AM. The incident happened teacher was reading a story. I was sitting on the rug with the children. She went under the easel. The easel began to fall so she held the easel with one hand and with the other hand she pulled the child back by the leg. At the moment, she didnt see a mark on the child so a report was not written. On the same day after the child was picked up, the police came and collected a statement from her. There were no other incidents that could have caused the mark on the child. Per teacher (JA), she had a big group and it was almost dismissal time when the incident happened. She was reading a book and the assistant teacher was on the carpet with all the kids. The child, (A.C.) was crawling everywhere and the teacher said stop and calm down many times. The child went under the easel and Ms. M.M. grabbed the child's leg and with the other hand tried to stop the easel from falling down on her. Then when she saw the child, the child had the mark of the assistant teacher's hand on her leg. She did not get a chance to tell the office or create an accident/incident report. When she came to notify the office, the child had already left and told mom that the teacher hit her. This complaint is substantiated. A non-compliance is being issued as an accident/incident report was not created and shared with the parents on the day of the incident. 41.
