BATON ROUGE  - A Division of Administrative Law judge ordered the State Department of Education to turn over documents involving an investigation it conducted into a daycare that had its license revoked this year. 

Since the revocation, the owners of Alphabet Soup daycare in Prairieville said they have had trouble getting information from the state. The State Department of Education regulates daycare facilities and revoked Alphabet Soup's license in February, citing 74 deficiencies over a two-year period. The state said one of the most egregious complaints, was over-medicating a child.

"Department of licensing made it seem like we all but killed a kid," Traci Tennyson said. "We did not. The mother changed the form then told the inspector she never altered the form. You can clearly see where the form was altered," referring to paperwork about the child's medication.

Since the daycare's license was revoked, the state has repeatedly paid unannounced site visits and stopped paying for low-income children to attend. Tennyson said she believes her center was targeted after she began voicing concern surrounding the way daycares are inspected. She said she met with lawmakers and urged them to create regulations that require inspectors have some form of daycare experience. It was shortly after that when unannounced site visits began according to Tennyson.

"We are allowed to stay open during the appeal," Tennyson said. "We are technically under the umbrella of Department of Education. We don't have our license because they've revoked it. But we are kind of in purgatory."

Today, the state said that it would comply with deadlines.

The owners of the daycare said when the state revoked their license there were about 200 kids at the facility. Today there are 130 kids.

"I have peace about this that it's going to be ok," Tennyson said. "That's all I can go off of."

BATON ROUGE- A former employee of the Prosperity House is speaking up after she said her complaints fell on deaf ears when she filed them with the state.

She's the second former employee to tell the WBRZ Investigative Unit they filed complaints with Adult Protective Services. That agency falls under the Louisiana Department of Health. Today, a spokeswoman said it had no records of any complaints.

"I'm clearly speaking up because those people can't speak for themselves," Laurie Hendrix said. "Some may ask why do their families have them there? Seventy percent of them don't have families, so they have to live there or on the streets."

Hendrix isn't alone. Hope Coleman said she also filed complaints after a resident she worked with had a swollen hand.

"I noticed her hand was swollen so I asked her what was wrong with your hand," Coleman recalled. "She said someone from the group home hit her with a spoon. I filed a complaint with Adult Protection Services and followed up with the attorney general's office."

Last week, the WBRZ Investigative Unit obtained disgusting pictures inside the Prosperity House. The pictures showed the following: people sleeping on the floor, junk everywhere, residents eating without utensils, and their needs apparently neglected.

After multiple requests to get the Group Home's Owner, Chantay Davenport dropped off a two-page letter to WBRZ instead. Part of it reads, "...The allegations of neglect, deplorable conditions and mismanagement of funds are a vicious, slanderous attack on Prosperity House and are completely false... Prosperity House has and will always maintain strict adherence to all rules, regulations and guidelines and we always treat our tenants as family."

Last week, State Senator Regina Barrow pledged to make changes.

"For anyone operating a home and not operating it in the proper manner, we are not going to tolerate this," Barrow said. "I'm asking for people to sound the alarm and let us know. We will not tolerate this type of behavior."

Former workers said enough is enough and they believe Davenport needs to be stopped.

"The Prosperity House under those living conditions should be shut down," Hendrix said. "The governor, senators, whoever need to go in there. If they went in there today, they would shut it down today, immediately."

Many of the residents pay to live at the Prosperity House through their social security checks. The WBRZ Investigative Unit reached out to the Social Security Administration, and we received the following response.

"Social Security takes allegations of misuse seriously; however, due to privacy laws, we cannot disclose or comment on any details surrounding Chantay Davenport or the residents involved in this matter."

BATON ROUGE- Former Southern University Law Professor Dorothy Jackson is suing the Plummer family and one of their attorneys, claiming she lost her job at Southern University as a result of a false narrative they put out. The lawsuit was filed Monday morning.

The lawsuit alleges, "John Pierre, Chancellor of the Southern University Law Center violated Plaintiff Professor Dorothy Jacksons' constitutional and due process rights and wrongfully terminated her." The lawsuit also claims Dorothy Jackson was defamed after Plummer's daughter Jacqueline Antoine and her attorney, Robert Garrity did multiple interviews with WBRZ-TV and The Advocate.

Dorothy Jackson was terminated from Southern University after an independent panel reviewed the allegations in the case and found numerous issues. Jackson most recently lost her attempt to get her job back when the University's Board of Supervisors upheld her termination.

Jackson drafted a will at Southern's Elder Law Clinic for Helen Plummer, a client at the Council on Aging. That will would have benefited the Executive Director of the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging Tasha Clark Amar to the tune of $120,000. However, all sides backed off the will when it was exposed by the WBRZ Investigative Unit.

Jackson's lawsuit alleges at no time did she induce Plummer through illicit means, fraud deceit or coerce her into drafting the will. It claims she was defamed when she was referred to as a "co-conspirator with Dytasha Clark Amar."

As a result of Jackson losing her job after the will was exposed, the lawsuit says she's suffered the following pain: mental, emotional, psychological along with damage to her name and professional reputation.

Antoine's attorney Robert Garrity said he had not been served yet, but called the lawsuit frivolous. He said anyone can file whatever lawsuit they like, but it doesn't mean they have merit.

"Again, why did Southern fire Dorothy Jackson," Garrity asked.

All sides were in court today for a hearing as to whether certain parties named in Antoine's lawsuit could go forward. Another wrinkle came when Garrity filed a motion to have all of the judges in the 19th Judicial District Court recused.

"What's good for the goose is good for the gander," Garrity told Judge Wilson Fields.

Garrity was referring to all the judges having recused themselves from Clark Amar's lawsuit against the Plummer family with the exception of Judge Don Johnson who did not.

All sides are due back in court in July.
