The Polinsky Children’s Center, a temporary shelter for children in San Diego County, is now at the center of over 100 lawsuits alleging decades of sexual abuse. The facility, which was meant to provide a safe haven for children removed from their homes due to neglect or abuse, is now accused of failing to protect them from horrific mistreatment within its own walls.

Survivors who lived at the facility between 1994 and 2020 have come forward with allegations that staff members, older residents, and others repeatedly sexually abused them while they were in custody. The lawsuits describe a range of abuse, from molestation and groping to violent sexual assault. Many survivors say that their reports were ignored or dismissed by those in charge, and some claim they were threatened with further abuse if they spoke up.

The lawsuits argue that the County of San Diego, which operates the facility, failed in its responsibility to protect the children in its care. Allegations include the failure to conduct thorough background checks on employees, a lack of supervision that allowed abuse to go unchecked, and a culture of silence that discouraged victims from coming forward. In some cases, survivors claim that known abusers continued working at the facility even after concerns were raised about their behavior.

Fairmount Behavioral Health System in Philadelphia has faced repeated allegations of sexual abuse, neglect, and institutional failures that have left vulnerable patients—many of them minors—exposed to serious harm. As a psychiatric treatment facility owned and operated by Universal Health Services (UHS), one of the largest behavioral health providers in the country, Fairmount has a long history of failing to protect the very individuals it is meant to serve.

Families turn to facilities like Fairmount in times of crisis, trusting that their loved ones will receive the care and supervision they need. But for far too many patients, the reality has been the opposite. Investigations, lawsuits, and media reports have exposed patterns of abuse, including sexual assaults by staff members, attacks by other residents due to a lack of supervision, and a corporate culture that prioritizes profit over patient safety. Instead of receiving treatment in a secure and compassionate environment, residents at Fairmount have been subjected to traumatic experiences that can have lifelong consequences.

If you or a loved one has suffered sexual abuse at Fairmount Behavioral Health System, you are not alone. Survivors have the right to seek justice, hold responsible parties accountable, and demand changes to prevent future abuse. Our Pennsylvania sex abuse lawyers are here to help.
