For decades, vulnerable children were entrusted to the care of the Rice Child and Family Center. Sadly, recent reports and lawsuits have revealed that many minors suffered horrific sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at the hands of staff and caregivers in a number of residential treatment facilities in Illinois. Now, Phillips Law Group is investigating potential cases of sexual abuse of former residents of Rice Child and Family Center and other facilities like it.
Survivors of this kind of abuse, many of whom were already struggling with trauma, were further victimized in environments meant to provide safety and healing. If you or a loved one was abused at this facility, our firm may be able to help you pursue a lawsuit.
Pursuing Justice for Residential Treatment Facility Sex Abuse

Our firm is dedicated to fighting for the rights of all of our clients, including seeking justice on behalf of survivors of sexual abuse in this type of facility.
Our team may be able to help you or a loved one secure compensation for your pain and suffering that occurred at this facility or another behavioral health facility in the state of Illinois, while also exposing the systemic failures that allowed such abuse to persist.
Facilities like Rice Child and Family Center have a duty to protect children in their care. But in many similar facilities, minors were left vulnerable to predators. If sexual abuse of children happened at this facility thanks to institutional negligence, its operators should be held accountable.
The psychological and emotional scars of childhood sexual abuse can last a lifetime, impacting relationships, mental health, and quality of life. Bringing a lawsuit against the facility and its operators may help a survivor to process, heal, and move on with their life.
