13 | Staff handled infant in a rough manner
During the investigation, LPA Habtom toured the facility, conducted observation and interviewed those pertinent to the investigation. It was alleged that staff handled infant in a rough manner. During the interview with the reporting party LPA L. Habtom was unable to gather detailed information with the people involved, children impacted and date to help validate the claim. Staff interviews were consistent with how to pick up a child from under the arm pits in order to avoid causing harm to the child. LPA L. Habtom observation showed that staff were aware of picking up a child. LPA Habtom was unable to gather information to determine that a staff member handled an infant in a rough manner while in care therefore based on the limited information the allegation is determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although it may or may have not happened, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.
