Lawsuits Filed for Survivors of Abuse at Youth Detention Center
Legal Action for Survivors of Abuse
Levy Konigsberg's attorneys, Madeleine Skaller and Zoe Ferguson, have taken a bold step by filing lawsuits for eleven survivors who suffered sexual abuse during their time at a youth detention center. These individuals were subjected to horrific experiences at the hands of adult staff members when they were children, illustrating a severe breach of trust and responsibility.
Allegations Against Camden County Youth Detention Center
The lawsuits are directed at Camden County, which runs the Camden County Youth Detention Center, and allege that the county failed to protect children from prevalent sexual abuse by its employees. This alarming situation of negligence indicates a far-reaching problem within the juvenile justice system that demands urgent attention.
Despite longstanding awareness of the abuse occurring at Camden County Youth Detention Center, there seems to be a persistent failure to implement measures that would safeguard vulnerable children. This negligence has led to actions taken by Levy Konigsberg, as they continue to advocate for those whose voices have been silenced for far too long.
The Importance of Advocacy
Madeleine Skaller, a partner at Levy Konigsberg, highlighted the unfortunate circumstances that led these children to the detention center in the first place. "When these survivors were children, they were sent to Camden County Youth Detention Center when they were vulnerable and in need of supportive services. Instead, they were subjected to unfathomable sexual abuse by the very adults entrusted with their care. It’s shocking that Camden County failed to act on what they knew about the sexual abuse threat in their facilities. These lawsuits seek justice for the systematic abuse suffered by children that continues to be a concern today," she stated.
