32 | In July 2023, it was alleged the child sustained another injury while in care. Staff stated they never witnessed any incident involving the child which resulted in an injury. Staff stated when they were made aware of the allegation, the facility conducted an internal investigation, and did not determine there was an incident where the child sustained an injury. During interviews with all pertinent parties, there was a two-day time lapse from when the alleged injury occurred to when it was reported to the facility, and the child never received medical treatment.
Due to conflicting statements given during interviews with pertinent parties and the time frame of when the alleged injury occurred from when the facility was notified, the Department is unable to determine if the injury in July occurred while in care.
This agency has investigated the complaint regarding the above allegation. Based on the interviews conducted, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of unsubstantiated means, although the allegations may have happened, or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove the allegations occurred.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days.
Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director, Ivamae Haney. |
