Parents have expressed outrage after California state regulators raided three preschools in San Diego and interrogated children as young as two without parental consent over the facility's policy regarding face masks.
One parent recalled being 'frustrated,' 'angry,' 'aghast' and 'confused' by the January 19 raids, which saw officials with the California Department of Social Services isolate toddlers at three Aspen Leaf Preschool locations and press them about the schools' Covid protocols.

California officials carried out the investigations in response to a parent complaint in early January over Aspen Leaf Preschool's policy against requiring children to wear face masks. Above, Apsen Leaf Preschool's location on Third Avenue in San Diego.
The agency carried out the investigations in response to a parent complaint in early January over Aspen Leaf Preschool's mask-wearing policy. Wu said he has communicated the policy to parents since putting it in place and has never faced any previous backlash from parents.
The policy says that children cannot wear a mask while eating or taking naps, which accounts for about three hours a day - and that therefore there is 'no health benefit' to wearing a mask at all other times.
'Every family we heard from after the inspections were furious about the interviews,' Wu told Fox News. 'We were open the whole pandemic about not masking children and the reasons why.'
Wu added the responses of parents in his complaint to the CDSS, with many arguing that the investigation was out of line and an abuse of power.
