32 | On 5/16/24 LPA Erica Laird conducted four children interviews (C1, C2, C3, C4). All children interviewed denied having been handled roughly by staff. C3 stated staff only hold hands and arms to walk to the bathroom. All of the children interviewed stated they had never observed staff grab children by the arms or wrist or seen staff hurt children.
On 5/14/24, 5/16/24, and 6/3/24 LPA Laird conducted interviews with four staff (S1, S2, S3, S4). S1 stated they had observed a staff grab a child by the wrist while scolding them. S2, S3, and S4 stated they had never observed staff handle children in a rough manner or staff grabbing children by the wrist or the arm. S2, S3, and S4 stated the only time staff grab hands is to walk children to the bathroom.
Based on interviews, there is not enough evidence at this time which could determine the allegation occurred.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with, Shelly Caperello.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
