Complaint·May 27, 2022

Based on interviews conducted with pertinent parties and pertinent documents reviewed, it was revealed that Child #1 has a history of biting and hitting. There were 9 biting/hitting incident reports logged by staff during the time frame of 03/03/2022 - 03/15/2022, with a responsible party's signature. Director indicated that a formal plan had not been put into place for child #1. Based on the child's history of behaviors, staff failed to protect child children in care. Based upon the information gathered and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and therefore, the allegation, child sustained injuries by another child due to lack of supervision is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. See LIC 9099D for deficiency cited. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was reviewed and provided to the Director, Charlene Bunnelle-Mcalister. Appeal rights were discussed and provided during the exit interview. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for the next 30 days.
