CUMBERLAND — The state agency that licenses and inspects Indiana childcare facilities says they can’t take action against a Cumberland childcare ministry for allegedly dispensing melatonin to children without parental consent.
“As such, we have no authority to take action on issues involving administering medication, vitamins or supplements,” said Marni Lemons, FSSA’s Deputy Communications Director, in an email to WRTV.Court records show Tonya Voris, 52, has pleaded not guilty and is due back in Hancock County court on April 5.
When FSSA is inspecting a facility, either during a routine inspection or looking into a complaint, they look for whether staff are properly administering medications. FSSA inspected Kidz Life Childcare Ministry on February 16, just days after prosecutors charged Tonya Voris.On February 16, FSSA found one staff member did not have a current background check on file.
“Front Area/Hallway: Clorox wipes, purse, and hand sanitizer on black storage cubby -Unlocked Utility Closet: cleaning chemicals, bleach, ice melt and hand soap -Girls Restroom: Glade air freshner in cabinet near door; A & D Ointment on diaper changing table,” read the inspection report from December 28.WRTV Investigates reached out to Kidz Life Childcare Ministry about the violations and we are waiting to hear back.
