Shelter Staff Failed to Protect Girl | Santa Fe News

A 13-year-old girl endured repeated sexual assaults over five nights at a New Mexico youth shelter, allegedly ignored by staff who knew — and did nothing. One witness walked away, the incident later mislabeled as consensual.

Now in foster care, she seeks justice for the trauma inflicted. The state agency claims shelters are last-resort placements, but declined to comment on the lawsuit.
