[...] In addition to soliciting nude photos, the clients reported the staff member allowed the clients to use the staff member's cell phone to access social media, which went against facility policy. The staff member also visited a client while the client was AWOL, brought the client food, and took the client to the staff member's home.

A program reads every inspection report we collect and picks out findings that describe serious harm, using the state's own severity rating or complaint outcome where there is one. A person then reads the report and approves or rejects each one. Only findings the state substantiated are listed: a citation, or a complaint the investigator upheld. A child running away is listed only when it ended in a death or a serious injury. This page is not complete: it covers the states and reports reviewed so far, and a facility's absence here says nothing about its record. Every report we hold, flagged or not, is on the state trackers.
