The investigation included interviews with the Resource Mother (RM), Resource Father (RF), three of four foster children (FC1, FC3, and FC4), one Agency Social Worker, and one County Social Worker (CSW). One of four foster children (FC2) was not interviewed due to no longer being a foster dependent. In addition, county and facility records were reviewed.

It was specifically reported that Resource Mother (RM) hit Foster Child 1 (FC1). Details gathered alleged that RM would make motions with their hands toward FC1’s face and that RM would hit them on their arm with an open hand. Confidential interviews alleged that, additionally, RM slapped Foster Child 2 (FC2) and put their hand on Foster Child 3 (FC3) neck. Other information obtained denied that RM or Resource Father (RF) use physical forms of discipline or physically abused FC1 or any other FC in the home. Confidential interviews stated that RM and RF would use forms of discipline such as sending the children to their room or removing privileges. Further details gathered from confidential interviews stated that FC1 and FC2 were removed from the Resource Home due to behaviors. FC1 was not observed with any marks or bruising. There were no additional witnesses who could confirm or dispute the allegation.

Based on interviews and confidential information obtained during the course of this investigation, the allegation that RM hit FC1, may or may not have occurred; However, it is not supported or proven by evidence. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time.

Exit interview conducted, appeal rights were discussed, and provided. A copy of the report along with LIC 811, Confidential Names List, was given to Social Worker Supervisor, Patricia M. King.
