On 06/14/2022, the Department received the incident report from the facility for child #1.

They reopened the facility with the children on 08/31/2022. During today's case management inspection of 09/13/2022, LPA met with the Facility Director, Rowena Ohly. Present during today's inspection are twelve children with ten staff. LPA conducted the confidential interviews with the staff and the Director.
