Based on the information obtained throughout the course of this investigation the above allegations could not be substantiated or dismissed. Even though there may have been sustained injuries, the staff provided adequate care to the children and attend to the child. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the finding is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview was conducted. A notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
