On 04/01/2022, I spoke with Child A's parents. They both stated that on 03/29/2022, Child A's Mother was notified that Child A hair had been pulled out when she arrived to pick Child A up. Child A told her mother that Child B (1-year- old, male) pulled her hair. Neither parent was notified by the child care center. Child A's Mother stated that Victor Reyes did not show any concern. Child A's parents are concerned that the children are not being properly supervised. A police report was filed with the Southgate Police Department. The parents had not received a copy of the police report. According to Child A's parents, this is the second time there was an incident with Child A hair being pulled out. The first incident was on December 17, 2021, the parents were not notified. Child A hair was pulled out but not the entire braid. On 04/01/2022, I received an email from Child A's Mother. There were photos of Child A's hair where the braid/hair was missing from the incident on 03/29/2022 and 12/17/2021. There was a copy of the accident reports that the child care center gave to Child A's Mother.
