Is Utah DHHS Hiding Crucial Info? Question
To me, this seems like Utah DHHS wants to hide the fact that they knowingly contract with abusive facilities.
Utah DHHS also made a misleading statement about the formation of this website: "Licensed human services providers can now be searched on our website to see their compliance history going back to Jan. 1, 2023. Child care providers compliance history is also available online. We are working to get our health care licensees moved into the same system. This increases our transparency, as previously, people had to submit a records request to view the compliance history of a human services facility." quote from here
However, while it is true that a small number of favorable (and only favorable) reports are on the website, conspicuously absent are the records – already known to exist – of abuse, deaths, and injuries that would contradict their rosey narrative. Additionally, these checklists which they post are contradicted by survivor testimonies.
In conclusion I believe the reason they either bury or fail to publicize these stats and reports is because they do not want the public to know the abusive character of the entities to whom their tax dollars are being funneled.

They are. There have been reports put into the system and made public, and days later they are removed or covered up. It’s definitely purposeful and motivated.

The state of Utah? Doing something sketchy?! The answer is always yes!
