💨 Abstract

Los Angeles County has approved a $4 billion settlement for nearly 7,000 claims of sexual abuse in juvenile facilities since 1959, surpassing a previous record set by the Boy Scouts of America in 2022. The settlement, reached on April 4, addresses allegations of mistreatment and abuse in foster care and juvenile detention facilities, with many claims involving the MacLaren Children's Center.
