25 | A Tele-inspection was conducted today at 10:00:am, by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melchisedeck Augustin and met with Center Director (CD), Wendy Certeza to obtain additional details surrounding an incident where staff (S1) reportedly spoke loud to a child (C1), grabbed C1’s arm; and put C1 in the Trouble Time Chair. The facility self-reported the incident and submitted an unusual incident report (UIR) on 02/08/21. During the tele-inspection, LPA interviewed S1, CD starting at 10:07am, and C1 was not available for an interview. CD and S1’s statements acknowledged that S1 held C1’s hand, however; S1 denied that she spoke loud to and/or forcefully grabbed C1’s hand and/or put C1 in a Troubled Time Chair; and S1 claimed she never violated any child’s personal rights. CD claimed she provided S1 with additional health and safety training which also includes methods on communicating with children.
Due to insufficient information available at this time, further investigation is warranted. CD’s signature was not recorded on this Facility Evaluation Report (FER), however; this FER was provided to CD, and CD’s confirmation of read receipt is on file. |
