3Evidence: reviewed the facility's policy on discipline and found that staff had roughly handled Child 1, by pulling on their hoodie, and pulling on their wrist, and did not follow the facility's policy on discipline.
Evidence: identified through staff interview and video footage provided by the school that Child 1 had taken the radio from Staff 1, and after several attempts to retrieve it, the child kept the radio away. The staff member pulled the back of the child's hoodie with their left hand, causing the child to fall along the stools of the lunch table, and with the other hand the staff member then grabbed the child by the wrist, pulled the radio out of the child's hand, causing the child to fall head first onto the ground. The child then sat on the floor as the teacher walked away. The child then walked over to another teacher to explain what had just happened. Staff 1 followed the child and told the child "not to lie" about the incident.
