A group of 66 people sent to juvenile facilities in Pa. as children have filed lawsuits alleging they suffered physical and sexual abuse -- even violent rapes -- at the hands of guards, nurses, supervisors or other staffDozens of children who were sent to juvenile detention centers and similar facilities in Pennsylvania suffered physical and sexual abuse including violent rapes, according to four related lawsuits filed Wednesday.
Copies of the lawsuit were emailed Wednesday morning, seeking comment, to spokespeople for the Department of Human Services, Devereux and Merakey. Several messages were left in recent days for VisionQuest. Other claims, by 15 people who were confined at facilities run by the Department of Human Services, say children there “have long been subjected to a culture of exploitation, violence and rampant sexual abuse" committed by guards, counselors and other staff.
