What is the Polinsky Children's Center Lawsuit?

What Happened at MacLaren Hall?

At MacLaren Hall, also known as MacLaren Children's Center, numerous children suffered physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. When these children courageously reported the abuse, they were often punished, and their allegations were systematically dismissed or concealed. This cycle of abuse persisted for decades until legal actions ultimately led to the facility's shutdown.

In California, over 60,000 children rely on the state's foster care system to provide a secure environment. Throughout its operational years, tens of thousands of children passed through MacLaren Hall, which was supposed to offer temporary shelter and meet their basic needs. Instead, these children were subjected to appalling abuse. This abuse was perpetuated in an environment from which they had no escape.

Herman Law, particularly the paralegal, she's been amazing. She always validates my feelings and what I'm going through and my phone calls. She listens to me and I feel validated, like I have power over what happened and power over what's going to happen. It makes me feel like I'm not alone anymore.
