I don't know whether V503 was in the original complaint which sparked the investigation, but this violation had to do with the confiscation of all clients' pants and shoes each night, regardless of whether someone was considered to be a runaway risk or not. Apparently this had been Trails Carolina's SOP since they opened.
North Carolina had a problem with this practice not jiving with Trails Carolina's own official Search and Seizure policy, both in the nature of what was seized, esp. from kids who were not considered to be runaway risks, as well as the fact that these seizures were not duly documented. Moreover, if Trails Carolina was going to be taking these kids' clothing from them every night, there needed to be notation stipulating to that effect made by a qualified professional in each kid's file, which was certainly not done.

Too bad there was not more detail available......Unless we know exactly what the specifics of the violations were we really dont know how serious the issue(s) were. Could be something major or minor like a paperwork issue. If the background checks are not filed correctly or someone leaves a trash can on the fire escape you are held in violation. You need to also consider that many of the inspectors need to justify their jobs. If you are an inspector you need to find stuff (thats what you do) if you dont find anything than many perceive it as maybe you didnt look hard enough or are not very effective at your job. Very few inspections come out clean even when they are scheduled and the schools are prepared for it... this inspection did not appear to be scheduled in advance.

Geeezzzz. I wouldn't consider punching a kid in the kisser in retaliation for misbehavior, and injuring the kid in the process, to be a "minor" issue. I'm sure that incident figured prominently in the original complaint.
If you're really sooooo bloody concerned about inspectors "justifying their jobs" with busywork at the taxpayers expense, you'll be relieved to know that they probably weren't doing it this time around!
