32 | Confidential witness interview stated that C1 was potty trained upon enrollment; thus, C1 would not wear diapers upon drop off to the facility. Staff interview indicated that C1 had behavioral challenges, and would often defecate in their pants, and otherwise would not adhere to facility rules (such as sleeping where other children slept or participate in activities with other children). 1 of 3 children interviewed stated that C1 was disruptive and would often defecate in their pants. Staff interview stated that C1 would have incontinent issues and would often defecate in their pants and due to this, C1 was regularly placed in a diaper by staff. Interview with C1 relayed that they felt sad when placed in a diaper. Staff interview denied C1 ever being locked in a bathroom. Confidential witness interview revealed no recollection of the incident where C1 was locked in a bathroom. Based on staff, confidential witness and children interviews conducted, the regulatory requirement to be treated with dignity and respect was not met. The allegation was therefore, Substantiated.
A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
An exit interview was conducted where a copy of this report was provided along with a copy of the LIC9099D, LIC811, and Appeal Rights. |
