A lawsuit claims 14 teenagers in Michigan were sexually abused by staff while living at a state-licensed detention and rehabilitation center. The lawsuit accuses Wolverine Human Services of gross negligence. It describes staff preying on 13 boys and a girl in their rooms, in showers and elsewhere at Wolverine Secure Treatment Center.
More than a dozen teenagers were sexually abused by staff while living at a state-licensed detention and rehabilitation center in Michigan before it closed in 2021, according to a lawsuit that accuses the operator of gross negligence.
“Until now they have not spent significant time talking about what happened to them,” attorney Corey Stern told The Associated Press. “It’s coming to terms with who they are. It’s coming to terms with unhealthy brokenness.” “Multiple instances of youth-on-youth and staff-on-youth sexual harassment and abuse were reported and known” to center officials, the lawsuit states.
Separately, state regulators in 2021 proposed that the center’s license be revoked. Inspectors cited examples of teens being aggressively restrained by staff and other rule violations. Wolverine Human Services disputed the action but ultimately closed the center.
