confidential records review disclosed that the Child’s parent did communicate with the CCC’s Administrator that something had been done to the child by the Administrators relative but did not specify or provide any details. Due to a lack of cooperation from complainant, LPA was unable to corroborate allegation and/or gather supporting evidence. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. 

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was conducted and copy of this report, appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit were provided to Administrator. Administrator was reminded that the Notice of Site Visit must be posted in the CCC in a visible area for 30 days.
