Lawsuit alleges sexual abuse
of teens at detention center


The Associated Press

A lawsuit claims 14 teenagers in Michigan were sexually abused by staff while living at a state-licensed detention and rehabilitation center.

The lawsuit accuses Wolverine Human Services of gross negligence. It describes staff preying on 13 boys and a girl in their rooms, in showers and elsewhere at Wolverine Secure Treatment Center.

The center closed in 2021 after a series of state inspections. It was near Saginaw, 100 miles north of Detroit. There was no immediate comment on the lawsuit from Wolverine Human Services.

“Until now they have not spent significant time talking about what happened to them,” attorney Corey Stern told The Associated Press. “It's coming to terms with who they are. It's coming to terms with unhealthy brokenness.”

Teenagers were placed at the center by courts, the state child welfare system and, in some cases, families.

Residents wore shirts that carried the center's motto: “Reality, Responsibility, Respect, Community, Negotiation, Education, Love."

But it was a “far more sinister environment,” the lawsuit says.
