Hundreds of Additional Lawsuits Filed Over Child Abuse in Illinois Juvenile Detention Centers Illinois and Cook County policies seemed designed to keep victims quiet, rather than address widespread juvenile detention center child abuse, survivors say. September 25, 2024 Irvin Jackson Add Your Comments Nearly 700 former inmates of Illinois juvenile detention centers have now filed child abuse lawsuits against various agencies across the state, indicating that horrific things were done to them on a regular basis while they were minors, often at the hands of state and local employees who were supposed to ensure their safety. Three such complaints were filed on Monday in Illinois state courts, on behalf of at least 272 individuals, now bringing the total number of plaintiffs pursuing juvenile detention center child abuse lawsuits against the State of Illinois and Cook County to at least 667. A similar lawsuit was filed by nearly 200 men and women in July, over abuses at the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center, which allegedly occurred between 1995 and 2022. These latest complaints involve several additional Illinois Youth Center facilities, including more claims over events that occurred at the Cook County Detention, each indicating that staff members repeatedly sexually abused and physically assaulted juveniles in their care, or turned a blind eye to incidences at the facilities.

If you or a loved were a victims of sexual assault, new laws removing the statute of limitations may allow you to pursue compensation. Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION A common theme throughout the lawsuits are allegations that the state of Illinois and Cook County failed to adequately respond to reports of children being sexually abused in juvenile centers for decades. Some of the same staff members are mentioned as known offenders throughout multiple survivor accounts, indicating that they were subjects of numerous reports that rarely went anywhere. However, a few of these former staff members have now been convicted in recent years of child sex abuse crimes, uncovering the widespread nature of the problems. Survivors claim many of the state’s policies were geared toward silencing victims and keeping claims of abuse quiet, rather than taking steps to prevent child abuse at Illinois juvenile detention centers. Juvenile Justice Child Abuse Lawsuits In 2014, Illinois extended the statute of limitations for civil child sexual abuse lawsuits, allowing survivors to pursue lawsuits against abusers or entities responsible for enabling the conduct for up to 20 years after the incidents occurred. However, Illinois is not the only state facing child sexual abuse lawsuits claiming government organizations failed to protect children in juvenile detention centers, which they were supposed to be protecting. A number of other states have also altered their statute of limitations laws to allow the filing of child sexual abuse lawsuits involving incidents that often occurred many decades earlier. As a result, there has been a sharp increase in the number of lawsuits filed against state juvenile justice systems nationwide, by former inmates who say they were put through horrific abuses in those facilities as children. The juvenile detention center sexual abuse lawsuits claim that children were subject to rape, exploitation and torture, while state employees looked on, participated or ignored the children’s cries for help and mercy. In addition to claims against government entities, similar lawsuits have also been filed against large private institutions, like the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America, where recent investigations have uncovered evidence of rampant child sexual abuse that went unaddressed for decades. As a result of mounting liability for failing to prevent priests from abusing children, numerous Catholic Archdioceses have declared bankruptcy in recent years. The Boy Scouts also declared bankruptcy in 2020, and now plans to emerge from Chapter 11 protections after agreeing to a $2.4 billion child abuse settlement agreement last year.
