Administrative Law Judge Kara J. Miller recommended termination of employment for a juvenile counselor who used excessive and inappropriate force on three residents.
The employee placed his arms, hand, and knee on one resident’s neck, pulled another resident backwards off a desk by his boxer shorts causing the resident to fall on his back and hit his head on a chair, and grabbed a third resident around the waist, lifting him in the air, and slamming him to the ground.
Additionally, the employee submitted a false report regarding the incident.
