Case History

NEGLIGENT SUPERVISION

A fifteen year old minor is remanded to a youth shelter. He threatens upon admission to hang himself from a bunk bed with a leather belt. The youth shelter inexplicably assigns him to a bunk bed room and allows him access to a belt. He is then found hanging from a bund bed causing serious and catastrophic brain injuries, coma and death. The shelter settled for a confidential amount.
