Thousands of Survivors. Decades of Abuse. One Historic Settlement.

For decades, children and teens in Los Angeles County’s juvenile facilities say they were sexually abused by staff, probation officers, or others responsible for their care. Many were silenced. Many are still healing.

But today, a path to justice has opened.

LA County has agreed to a $4 billion settlement — one of the largest ever — to compensate more than 6,800 survivors of abuse in county-run facilities like MacLaren Children’s Center, Camp Scott, Central Juvenile Hall, and others.

You may still have time to file a claim and receive your share of the settlement — but only if you act before the legal window closes.

Facilities Named in the Settlement

MacLaren Children’s Center – Permanently closed in 2003; hundreds of claims filed.

Camp Scott – “Boot camp” for girls, later exposed for systemic abuse.

Central Juvenile Hall, Barry J. Nidorf, Camp Afflerbaugh – Abuse reported by detainees across decades.

LA County Foster Care Placements – Children placed in homes with no meaningful oversight.

These aren’t isolated incidents — they represent a systemic failure. And the $4 billion settlement acknowledges that.
