 Interviews with parents and adults did not indicate that the Licensee has struck children in care which do not corroborate the allegation.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. Appeal rights were provided and exit interview conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
