“The defense of this lawsuit never questioned the extent of the tragedy. Rather, the school sought to demonstrate that it did everything in its power to support Abbie and acted responsibly by providing her the opportunity to seek additional care, and we're grateful that several court rulings have now affirmed that," said defense attorney Jarad W. Handelman of Elliott Greenleaf in Harrisburg.

A new opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit could have applications for other live-in educational institutions even as it vindicates the Milton Hershey School, according to the winning defense attorney.
Judge Stephanos Bibas ruled that the school is not responsible for the suicide death of 14-year-old Abrielle Kira Bartels, known as Abbie, while she was at home in the care of her parents.
