The family of a 16-year-old girl who died at a Georgia youth detention center are suing over her death, contending she was denied care that would have saved her. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Melanie Hogan Sluder and Ricky Shawn Curtis filed the federal complaint Tuesday.
ROME, Ga. — The family of a 16-year-old girl who died at a Georgia youth detention center in 2022 are suing over her death, contending she was denied care that would have saved her life.
“I didn’t get to watch her pick out her first car, go to the prom or graduate this past year with her friends. Things she had been looking forward to,” Sluder’s mother said in a statement. “I am lost without her, and not a minute goes by that I don’t think about her and what she would be doing.”Whitfield County grand jury indicted
The lawsuit alleges the defendants were aware of Sluder’s medical risks and prior drug use but did not “continuously monitor health, safety and well-being” or “respond reasonably” after she became distressed and asked for help.
