LPA toured the facility and census was taken During the investigation interviews were conducted with pertinent parties and documentation was collected.
On January 4, 2022, a complaint was received alleging the facility was violating children's personal rights. The complaint stated a staff member inappropriately handled a child in care. Pertinent parties admitted that a staff memeber physically removed a child from another staff member's lap. It was reported the removal was not forceful in nature; however, the child did not want to be touched. During the inspection, the Program Director provided a copy of the video documenting the incident. From observation of the video, the staff member was observed cuffing the child up under their arm and removing them from the other's staff memeber's lap. It did not appear to be forceful nor did the child cry or express any emotion of hurt. The child was not in imminent danger to warrant the staff member's response. The Director was informed of children's rights, which states that children must be free from unusual punishment, infliction of pain, humilitation and intimidation.
