The unidentified individual proceeded to leave the premises after being discovered. S1 and S2 searched the school grounds to find out if they had left anything more, or were still there and found nothing. Additionally, the Lomita Police were called on the day of the incident and instructed the director not to file a report since there was not any harm from the incident. Additionally, the children did not see the individual on the premises, and it was not certain how the individual entered the premises. Furthermore, information gathered from interviews indicates that the small gate to the outdoor yard of the preschool was unlocked during the time that the incident occurred. LPA Carus inspected the outdoor play area involved in the incident, and observed it to be safe, though the gate that was unlocked during this incident was approximately 4 feet tall and is unlocked for a timeframe of 2 hours on Wednesdays for trash pick up. Though a child is unable to access this gate when it is closed, it is considered to be a potential hazard and poses/posed a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care due to it being unlocked during the time of the incident. During today’s visit, the director confirmed that since this incident occurred, the pre school has implemented a system on trash pick up days to unlock the gate only after the trash pick up has arrived, monitor the gate during the pick up, and to lock the gate immediately after the trash pick up is complete.
