General: Based on interview and review of documentation, on 07/24/25 at 8:45am a one-year-old child broke the 2 main bones in his arm after falling into a toddler couch. Based on video footage there is a teacher standing at a changing table changing a child's diaper which was facing where the child was playing in a center. The child runs just a few feet, trips and starts to fall so he puts his arm out to possibly catch himself but he lands into the toddler couch and his straigtened arm hits the couch causing his arm to buckle. The child stands up visibly upset with his arm hanging down to his side, he walks towards the teacher at the changing table, she looks up at him and the video ends. The 2 teachers in the classroom did not see the incident occur and did not visibly see anything wrong with the childs arm. Both staff stated that the child was fussy throughout the day and thought it was due to a diaper rash. There are 2 more videos of that day showing the child using the injured arm to walk up a set up steps in the classroom and the second video showed the child handing something to a teacher using the injured arm. The child was not picked up from the center until 4:17pm per ProCare. The parents later called the center asking if something happened that day because the child was not using that arm. The parents took the child to seek medical attention and an x-ray determined his 2 main bones in his arm were broken.
