An administrative law judge has upheld a decision by the Tennessee Department of Children's Services to suspend the license of a facility for migrant children in Highland Park.

The ruling against the Baptiste Group came after two staff members at the facility were charged with inappropriate sexual contact with children at the facility.

It is located on Vance Avenue in a former Tennessee Temple University dorm.

The facility is leased by the church that took over from Highland Park Baptist.
