¿Puedo demandar a la División de Menores del Condado de Los Ángeles por abuso sexual?

Sí, puede demandar a la División de Menores del Condado de Los Ángeles o a otra entidad gubernamental si no cumplieron con su deber de cuidado para protegerlo de agresiones físicas, abusos sexuales y otros incidentes dañinos. No se trata de predecir y detener todos los casos de abuso sexual infantil, lo cual es imposible. Más bien, se trata de:

• Medidas preventivas contra el abuso sexual, como verificaciones exhaustivas de los antecedentes de los empleados y una supervisión adecuada.
• Acción apropiada cuando existen acusaciones o señales sospechosas de abuso sexual por parte de un empleado de justicia juvenil.

It’s no secret that the LA County juvenile justice system in California has failed in both of these areas for a very long time. Frankly, we have had cases going back to the 1970s, and thanks to those initial victims, many of the youth facilities that were textbook examples of neglect and abuse were closed. But there are victims who are still coming forward to this day, along with a new generation of children who were sexually assaulted and exploited within the past decade. We also help those who were out on probation instead of being detained, but they were still subjected to sexual abuse by employees of the LA County Juvenile Division in California.

Pretty much every case we investigate involves some level of poor judgment, missed opportunities, and lack of accountability by county officials. It’s very common for inmates and their families to be told that there is no evidence of abuse, when it’s actually been hidden or destroyed. Afterwards, the staff member is allowed to stay on at the facility, so the victim and other inmates are still in danger. If, after a while, the allegations are too damning to ignore, they will help the offender find another job with a different juvenile program.

Such astounding examples of neglect and misconduct must be punished through the criminal and civil courts. We are committed to helping you and others who are struggling with the impact of sexual assault and exploitation in California. Please contact our office and talk to an experienced Los Angeles County Juvenile Division sexual abuse attorney.
