Juvenile detention abuse
Thousands of survivors have come forward describing abuse inside juvenile halls, detention centers, and state youth facilities. Lookback windows in several states have opened the courthouse doors.
Accepting cases
What these cases involve
Recent legislation in several states revived claims for people abused as minors in government-run facilities, and waves of lawsuits have followed against counties and states. Records of staff assignments and prior complaints frequently corroborate survivor accounts even decades later.
A juvenile record does not disqualify you, and it does not make the abuse your fault.
