A series of leadership failures traumatized youth and violated their rights at the Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center (YRTC) in Geneva. The situation grew so dire the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services was forced to shut the facility down.
Now, a group of young women who were held at the YRTC and one of their mothers is suing to challenge conditions that violated their constitutional rights and federal law.
The ACLU of Nebraska has joined with Powers Law to represent the group.
