Sexual abuse is a profound betrayal, especially when it happens to vulnerable children in places meant to protect them. If you or a loved one suffered abuse at Western Maryland Children’s Center (WMCC), you deserve justice, accountability, and compassionate legal support. Our firm is committed to fighting for our clients – including sexual abuse survivors – and holding perpetrators and institutions accountable to help victims reclaim their power.
Pursuing a Western Maryland Children’s Center Abuse Claim
Recent investigations and lawsuits have exposed widespread sexual abuse in Maryland juvenile detention centers, including WMCC. Survivors report horrific assaults by staff members, guards, and other authority figures. These were individuals who were supposed to ensure the safety of the minors entrusted to their care, but instead, these predators exploited their power, leaving lasting trauma for survivors.
Many survivors have spent years silenced by fear, shame, or institutional cover-ups. But now, courageous victims are stepping forward to demand justice through civil lawsuits. Maryland’s Child Victims Act of 2023 allows survivors of child sexual abuse to file civil lawsuits in an attempt to seek institutional accountability and justice, meaning we may be able to assist you in pursuing a Western Maryland Children’s Center sex abuse claim.
Filing a lawsuit in these cases is about more than financial compensation. It’s about exposing the truth and forcing accountability, as well as preventing future abuse of others by holding institutions responsible.
Our team may be able to help you secure resources for therapy, medical care, and more. If our team of personal injury attorneys can’t help, we can refer you to a trusted partner who can.
