Complaint·April 29, 2022

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) James Wilkerson & Nasha King arrived at this facility to conduct an investigation into the above allegation. LPAs toured the facility and conducted census. There was an allegation that child #1 (C1) was bitten by child #2 (C2). LPAs conducted staff interviews. Staff does not deny that C2 had bitten C1, and stated that it was not caused by a lack of supervision. Staff #1 (S1) stated that the incidient did occur, however S1 couldn't react quick enough to prevent the incident from happening. S1 stated that C2 does not have any history of biting any other children and that this was the first and only occurance when this did happen. LPAs cannot verify that S1 did indeed see the incident and cannot verify that S1 did not observe the incident. C1 and C2 are not verbal and were not interviewed. While C1 was bitten by C2 and it was acknowledged by staff, it doesn't necessarily indicate that it was caused by a lack of supervision. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted, a Notice of Site Visit was posted, appeal rights discussed and provided along with a copy of this report to the facility on this date.
