"Reporters found that Devereux staff members had raped or sexually assaulted at least 41 children — as young as 12, and with IQs as low as 50 — in the past 25 years."

Yet One more Abomination funded by American tax dollars...
"Devereux — which brings in more than $467 million in annual revenues, nearly all of it government funding — understaffed its campuses and failed to adequately supervise staff members..."

The deviant duo will get to the bottom of this...lmao!
"Gov. Tom Wolf recently directed state officials to investigate conditions that led to the sexual abuse of children at Devereux facilities and Philadelphia has stopped sending local children to Devereux facilities for now."

Horrific Record of ignoring Abuse https://www.inquirer.com/news/inq/devereux-advanced-behavioral-health-abuse-children-pennsylvania-20200811.html
"...between October 2018 and March 2019, three girls at a Devereux campus in Arizona were sexually abused by a male staffer in their bedrooms and the facility’s laundry room, they told police."
"In December, at a facility in Texas, a Devereux staffer was charged with allegedly sexually abusing four children, including a 16-year-old girl who said he threatened to have her beaten up, and a 12-year-old who said he molested her several times."
"And on that cloudy 2018 evening at Devereux Brandywine, Edward revealed to Wilson that a male staffer had been sexually assaulting him on campus for months."
"The teenager would later tell law enforcement that he was afraid to speak up, but knew he had to: The man had started abusing Edward’s 14-year-old “little brother” too."
See Why this Story is Muzzled?
"Last year the federal government awarded Devereux a $40.2 million contract to house immigrant children separated from their parents at the border, on Devereux’s claim that it is “uniquely qualified” to detect and prevent sexual assault."
"Last year the federal government awarded Devereux a $40.2 million contract to house immigrant children separated from their parents at the border, on Devereux’s claim that it is “uniquely qualified” to detect and prevent sexual assault."
"Inquirer reporters interviewed scores of former residents, family members, staffers, attorneys & law enforcement officers about sexual assault at Devereux...criminal cases, lawsuits, medical records, incident reports, therapy notes, pay stubs, text messages & police interviews."
"They found that Devereux’s programs had been hunting grounds for predators."
"Interviews and documents show that, despite bringing in $467 million in annual revenues, Devereux understaffed its campuses and failed to adequately supervise its patients and staff members, who all too often disappeared for hours and slept through shifts."
“Some of the staff would literally come in with sleeping bags, blankets and pillows, and a huge beach chair,” said Eric Heinbach, a staff member at Devereux Brandywine from 2017 through 2019. “Instead of doing night checks, they’d sleep and get paid.”
"Yet when assaults did happen, Devereux identified risk factors that led to the abuse and identified potential solutions — such as increased training or employment screenings — only to abandon the initiatives for years, reporters found."
"As a result, no child was off-limits to staffers who wished to prey on them: Even patients who came to Devereux for treatment of past sexual trauma were assaulted by staff."
"A 15-year-old girl in a Devereux Florida program designed for sex-trafficking victims said she was raped twice by a staff member in 2017."

"Hannah Rivera, 18, in Feb, in Orlando, Fla. Rivera was 15 when she was sent to a Devereux campus in Viera, Fla, to get help after she was sex-trafficked. While at Devereux, Rivera said she was raped by a 24-year-old male staff member."

“I went there to get help. I went there to try to help myself to get better,” said Hannah Rivera, now 18. “How many more girls are they going to let this happen to?”
