Background

A generation of New York City children was failed by the institutions trusted to protect them.

Survivors across the five boroughs are coming forward with accounts of sexual abuse at New York City institutions — juvenile detention centers, foster and group homes overseen by the Administration for Children's Services, afterschool and youth programs, summer camps, daycares, schools, and religious organizations. The accounts span decades and describe a recurring pattern: adults using positions of authority and access over children in their care to abuse them, supervisors who failed to intervene, and institutions that ignored or buried complaints.

For years, many of these claims were closed off by filing deadlines. A recently opened look-back window under New York City law has revived the ability of survivors to bring civil claims against public and private institutions — including city agencies and the private organizations entrusted with children's care — even when the abuse happened long ago. Survivors are coming forward across all five boroughs, and attorneys are reviewing new claims now. Whether you can file depends on the facts of your situation and the applicable law.

If you were sexually abused as a child at a New York City institution, a recently reopened window in the law may give you a path to accountability — and to recognition of what was taken from you.

Recoverable Damages

What compensation may be available.

Damages vary by case, and every survivor's situation is different. Common categories of damages in childhood institutional sexual abuse matters include:

In certain cases, city agencies and the public and private institutions responsible for a child's care may be held accountable for negligent hiring and supervision, failure to protect children in their care, failure to report known abuse, concealment of prior complaints, and retaliation against young people who tried to come forward. Where the conduct is especially egregious, punitive damages may also be available.
