PHILADELPHIA — The state, two counties and different schools missed warning signs and failed to protect a 12-year-old Pennsylvania girl who was suffering abuse at her home before she died in May, according to lawsuits filed Wednesday by the girl’s family.
The state and Chester and Monroe counties are named in the federal suit as are Upper Dublin and Coatesville Area school districts. The state suit names Commonwealth Charter Academy. Messages seeking comments were left with the defendants. The state attorney general’s office said in an email it was reviewing the suit and would not comment. Chester County declined to comment. An official with Monroe County said questions were forwarded to another official.Central Pa. man arrested in Maryland road rage incident, charged with attempted homicideIf you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
