This report includes the detail that the staff person's employment at KinderCare 301003 was terminated as a result of the incident. This incident happened about a month prior to this intake report being received. There was no report called into the intake line from any of the staff at KinderCare 301003. This suggests the Center Director and possibly other staff persons at the facility were aware of possible child abuse and did not report it to law enforcement or intake as required by WAC 110-300-0475(1).
