25 | On 09/26/2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Justin Giese made an unannounced visit to the facility to follow-up on the submission of an Unusual Incident Report (UIR). The UIR outlined a alleged incident which occurred on 09/03/2024. LPA met with Facility Director, Sophia Mchinnts and discussed the following.
The UIR stated that on 09/03/2024 a child was in attendance of the facility. Two full days later, 09/05/2024 a pertinent individual had reported to facility management the child was observed (outside of the facility) to have red marks around their neck/collar area. It was disclosed the subject child informed this individual another child at the facility had caused the red mark on 09/03/2024. The name of the child provided by the subject child did not match the name or likeness of any children currently enrolled at the facility. The facility conducted their own investigation and review of on site cameras for the alleged date of incident 09/03/2024 and 09/04/2024, which were reported to have no findings of the subject child sustaining any injury or causes of markings around their neck/collar area.
At time of this visit LPA conducted interviews with the Facility Director, staff, and the subject child. LPA's interview/investigation into this matter did not reveal any corroborating statements or fact to support what was alleged to have occurred in the submitted UIR.
Therefore due to conflicting information recorded during the investigation from what was alleged to have occurred in the UIR, the incident may have happened, or is valid, but there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged incident did or did not occur, therefore the incident is unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted, LPA provided Director, Sophia Mchinnts with a copy of this report and a notice of site visit on 09/26/2024. |
