Whether Respondent's employee hit or forcefully grabbed children in care, as alleged in the Administrative Complaint; and, if so, whether Petitioner should impose a fine of $400.00 against Respondent, a licensed child care facility, for the commission, by an employee, of an act that meets the statutory definition of child abuse.Although Respondent's employee hit or forcefully grabbed children in care, the act did not meet the statutory definition of child abuse, and thus Petitioner should not impose a fine of $400.00 against Respondent, a licensed child care facility.
