We have told [R1] to use the bathroom on his floor. We have done behavioral contracts with [R1] and [R2]. We did a contract in March because there was a verbal incident. I have seen [R1] stick his middle finger up at [R2], and I have seen [R1] be verbally aggressive towards [R2]. We had to do a second behavioral contract since this was assault. The second contract is the same as the first contract, but with different consequences since it has gotten physical. The contracts are to monitor their behavior and make sure they are not engaging. Monitoring is the only thing we can do in this situation. [R1] doesn't come to [R2]'s floor usually, but he is up here now. I will have to talk to him about it.

[R1] was yelling 'You can't be down here, we have contracts.' At that time, I was unaware [R2] was not supposed to go downstairs. [R2] doesn't ask staff for help when he wants to go downstairs, we just have to watch for him and then send someone with him. [R2] likes to go downstairs and color.
