- During the night shift, Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) made negative comments about Alleged Victim (AV) in the presence of AV and other staff members. Based on facility documentation and interviews, it was determined that AP2 verbally abused AV by using profanity in conversation with AV and making derogatory comments about AV in front of AV and other facility staff. AV reported that AP2's comments made him/her feel bad and expressed "feeling like an animal" as a result of AP2's actions. AP2's actions caused AV emotional distress which constitutes verbal/emotional abuse. The facility failed to protect AV from verbal/emotional abuse by not ensuring AV was from free from staff making verbal derogatory/negative comments about AV which is a violation of Oregon Administrative Rules.
