the child with the weighted blanket. Based on interviews, LPA did not have any witnesses to corroborate that staff #1 and staff #2 used their body weight to hold down child #1. Staff denies using their body weight and physically touching the child. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegations above are unsubstantiated.
