State Held Liable for Private Home Abuse

A survivor of horrific abuse at a private group home decades ago is back in court, demanding accountability from the state for failing to protect her as a teenager. She alleges over 100 assaults by the facility’s owner, now deceased, and says she was left isolated and voiceless. The state argues it’s not liable since Saddleback was privately run — but this trial hinges on whether the state had a duty to safeguard vulnerable youth, even in private settings. Testimony continues as the case moves forward, with the fate of justice for her still hanging in the balance. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
