Dozens of male and female survivors have come forward with disturbing accounts of sexual abuse by staff while they were children and teens in San Diego County group homes, youth facilities, and emergency shelters. Survivors describe being targeted in vulnerable settings and say they were threatened with loss of privileges, physical harm, or isolation if they tried to resist or report the abuse. Victims who did speak up say their reports were largely ignored or dismissed, allowing the abuse to continue unchecked.

Abuse has been reported at multiple San Diego County facilities, including: 

• The AB and Jessie Polinsky Children's Center (emergency shelter)
• Casa San Diego
• San Pasqual Academy
• Casa de Amparo
• Turning Winds
• San Diego Center for Children
• The Bridge Group Home

Client-Centered Justice

Support When You Need It Most

The incidents spanned from the 1990s through as recently as 2022, with victims as young as 8 at the time of abuse. Ongoing investigations suggest that more facilities may be identified as additional survivors come forward.

The impact of this abuse has been lifelong for many survivors, leading to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and struggles with trust and relationships. Through this lawsuit, Singleton Schreiber seeks to hold San Diego County accountable for its repeated failures, including a lack of intervention to stop abuse, failure to properly investigate complaints, and refusal to discipline or remove abusive staff.

If you or a loved one were sexually abused at a San Diego youth facility, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. By coming forward, we can hold those responsible accountable and bring about meaningful change, ensuring that no child endures such trauma within the system again.
