Further, licensee self-reported the incident that occurred while in care on 7/13/2025 and substantiated the allegations against above-mentioned FCCH. As such, (C1)’s personal right was compromised and infringed upon. Thus, the allegation of -other- a child was bitten by a dog is substantiated as a violation of personal rights.
