On or about July 8, 2024, there was observed to be 5 full plates of uneaten food in AV's kitchen. The last documented assistance with feeding AV was on July 7, 2024 at 11:27 AM. It is unknown if AV was provided meals or food after that time. AV was moved to another facility on July 9, 2024 and continued to eat double portions of food daily for two weeks. AV was also observed to have concerning hygiene when he/she arrived at the new facility.
