A group of people who say they were abused as children under the state’s care argue that New Hampshire officials have pulled the rug out from under them. Now, they want the state Supreme Court to intervene and make New Hampshire stay true to a promise they say was made to them.
New Hampshire’s juvenile justice system has in recent years been rocked by allegations of sexual, physical and emotional abuse spanning decades. At the heart of the scandal is the Sununu Youth Services Center, a state facility formerly known as the Youth Development Center or YDC, where hundreds say they were raped, beaten and emotionally tortured by staff.Â
