VASSAR, MI - Recent special investigations into Wolverine Human Services’ Clarence Fischer Center at its campus in Vassar centered on two violent altercations between a resident and a staffer in late 2020, according to documents obtained by MLive through the Freedom of Information Act.
Both investigations feature a violent incident involving individuals referred to as “Staff 1″ and “Youth A.” In both cases, the investigation established the staff member inflicted corporal punishment, a violation of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ licensing rules. It’s unclear if the pseudonyms refer to the same people in both reports.
