CIS Summarily Suspends the Family Day Care Home Registration of Julie DeJong; Investigation Uncovered Serious Risk to Children at the Kent County Family Day Care Home

Contact:  Maura Campbell 517.373.9280
Agency: Energy, Labor & Economic Growth


NOVEMBER 26, 2001 - The Michigan Department of Consumer & Industry Services (CIS), Bureau of Regulatory Services has issued an order of summary suspension and notice of intent to revoke action to Kent County family day care home provider Julie DeJong, 641 79th St., Kentwood, Michigan.  Julie DeJong was ordered to immediately cease providing care to children effective 6:00 P.M. on Thursday, November 15, 2001.  These actions are the result of a recent complaint investigation of the family day care home.

 

Under Michigan statute, a Family Day Care Home is defined as “a private home in which 1 but fewer than 7 minor children are received for care and supervision for periods of less than 24 hours a day, unattended by a parent or legal guardian, except children related to an adult member of the family by blood, marriage, or adoption.  Family day care includes a home that gives care to an unrelated minor child for more than 4 weeks during the calendar year.”

 

The November 14, 2001 findings of the complaint investigation found that:

 

·       A minor household member was inappropriately touched by another minor household member. 

Criminal charges have been filed.

 

Effective as of 6:00 P.M., November 15, 2001 the Summary Suspension Order required Julie DeJong not to operate a Family Day Care Home at 641 79th St., Kentwood, Michigan or at any other address or location.  Children are not to be received for care after that date or time.  The order required Julie DeJong to inform all of the parents or guardians of children in care that her certificate of registration was suspended and that she can no longer provide child care.

 

An Administrative Hearing regarding the Department’s suspension and revocation action will be scheduled.

Julie DeJong has held a certificate of registration to operate a Family Day Care Home since August 28, 1996. The certificate of registration was for 6 children.
