San Diego County once operated two juvenile detention camps in the remote rural community of Campo: the Juvenile Ranch Facility and Camp Del Rio. For decades, these facilities housed children, mostly boys, who were sent there for rehabilitation. But for many, what happened behind those fences was not reform. It was trauma.

Now, under new California laws, survivors who were abused at these facilities finally have a path to justice.

Sexual abuse lawsuits filed against San Diego County allege that staff at the Juvenile Ranch Facility and Camp Del Rio exploited their positions of power to abuse vulnerable children, while county officials failed to protect them or stop the misconduct.

Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center was supposed to be a safe place. For years, families entrusted Timberline Knolls in Lemont, Illinois, with their daughters, sisters, and loved ones. The facility promised compassionate care and evidence-based treatment for mental health issues like trauma, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

Instead, many survivors say they found something else: a dangerous environment, a culture of silence, and employees who exploited residents. As word spread, the Timberline Knolls scandal came into public view, sparking multiple Timberline Knolls lawsuits and eventually leading to Timberline Knolls closing.

Today, survivors and families are stepping forward to share their stories. If you or someone you love was harmed at Timberline Knolls, you have legal options. A Timberline Knolls lawsuit can help you seek accountability and compensation for the harm you suffered.

For decades, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church or Mormon Church) has operated behind a carefully constructed curtain of respectability. With over 17 million members and a global reputation for discipline and family values, the Mormon Church portrays itself as a moral anchor in a world adrift. No question, many of its members have followed the path of righteousness.

But underneath that public image lies a darker truth: a systemic pattern of sexual abuse and institutional cover-up that has left thousands of survivors in its wake. These survivors are now filing Mormon Church sexual abuse lawsuits to expose the truth, seek justice, and ensure that what happened to them never happens to another child again.

In 2025, the scope and magnitude of LDS sex abuse lawsuits has expanded significantly. These legal claims target not just individual perpetrators, bishops, missionaries, youth leaders, and other members of the LDS Church. They target the institution itself, alleging decades of deliberate concealment and obstruction. These LDS Church sexual abuse lawsuits aim to shine a spotlight on what plaintiffs allege is a coordinated system of silence, where protecting the Church’s reputation was prioritized over protecting children from predators.

These are not isolated claims. They represent a long-standing pattern of institutional failure, silence, and harm inflicted on some of the most vulnerable children in California.

A History of Abuse in San Diego County Youth Facilities

Multiple lawsuits have detailed the systematic abuse of children in San Diego’s juvenile justice and child welfare systems.

In 2021, the surgical implant manufacturer Exactech announced a recall of all its Optetrak® implant systems used in total knee replacement surgeries since 2004. The recall came after the company discovered that a problem with the product packaging was causing the polyethylene insert component in the Optetrak implants to degrade not function properly. This defect is causing the Optetrak knee implant systems to prematurely fail, which ultimately requires patients to undergo additional revision surgery.

Individuals who had the Exactech Optetrak system implanted and suffered premature failure due to this defect can file a product liability lawsuit against Exactech and potentially recover financial compensation for their pain and medical bills. Our firm is currently accepting Optetrak implant failure cases from patients who suffered a premature failure of their knee replacement implant and had to undergo revision surgery.
