"There is nothing abstract about the harm of being confined to an institutional environment with allegedly deficient hiring, retention, supervision, and incident response policies—policies that have, according to the [first amended complaint], caused plaintiffs to suffer repeated incidents of abuse and that by all accounts remain in place,” U.S. District Judge Anita Brody wrote.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania has rejected a behavioral health facility’s motion to dismiss a putative class action over reported abuse throughout its facilities.
In a Jan. 12 opinion, U.S. District Judge Anita Brody of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania rejected an argument by the Devereux Foundation and its staffing subsidiary QualityHealth Staffing that the plaintiffs’ alleged injuries were not “actual or imminent” but rather ”conjectural or hypothetical.”
