Fighting for Justice in Juvenile Detention Facilities
Juvenile detention facilities are meant to rehabilitate minors who have committed offenses, but reports of sexual abuse, physical mistreatment, and excessive punishment within these institutions are alarming. In Las Vegas and throughout Clark County, young people detained in Nevada juvenile detention facilities often suffer from abuse at the hands of staff members and other detainees. Many juveniles also experience neglect, a lack of mental health support, and violations of their legal rights.
If your child has suffered abuse in a Las Vegas juvenile detention center, Greenberg Gross LLP is here to help. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to holding institutions accountable for mistreatment and helping victims seek justice.
The Reality of Abuse in Juvenile Detention Facilities
Clark County juvenile detention centers are responsible for the care of minors accused of juvenile crimes. Unfortunately, many of these facilities have failed to provide safe and rehabilitative environments. Incidents of sexual abuse, physical violence, and emotional trauma have been reported in detention centers across Nevada.
Common abuses in juvenile detention centers include:
- Sexual violence and assault by staff or other detainees
- Excessive punishment, including solitary confinement
- Lack of access to mental health support and rehabilitation programs
- Physical violence and neglect by facility staff
If your child has been sexually abused or mistreated in a detention center, it is critical to seek legal representation from an experienced lawyer who understands the complexities of the juvenile court system.
Legal Protections for Juveniles in Nevada
