On or about October 20, 2020, AV was found in a saturated, breaking-down brief, indicating he/she had been changed for a long while, and removing the brief caused AV discomfort and loss of dignity. Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) and Alleged Perpetrator 3 (AP3) assisted AV before and after dinner. Neither AP2 nor AP3 checked AV's toileting needs.
