      13A.16.08.01A(2)(b)

      “After reviewing the video, it was observed that the teacher continued cleaning and did not check on the child when they started to cry. The teacher did not pick the toddler up when they continued crying, dragged the child with a chair, and finally picked the child up only when the child was unconscious. Both staff members were busy, standing with their backs turned, and not actively supervising children. When the teacher realized the child was unconscious, she did not check if the child was breathing but picked the toddler up and carried them across the room which could have caused an additional injury. The aide continued changing another child's diaper when the teacher realized the toddler was unconscious instead of placing the child receiving the diaper change on the floor and calling for help.”
