Summer Camp
Legal Guidance for Victims Nationwide
It is estimated that over 10 million children attend a summer camp in the United States. These are often run by familiar and trusted organizations. Summer camp is meant to be a fun place where kids can play games, make new friends, and enjoy freedom away from home. However, many of these places are filled with incidents of sexual abuse. It is unfortunate, but a high number of child molestation goes undetected. Even when children are brave enough to tell someone, many camp administrators deny the claims or try to negate the situation. When this occurs, it is likely that children will suffer irreversible emotional damage. Abused children often place the blame on themselves. Instead, it is vital to make the guilty parties pay.
Who is Responsible?
To stop this negative behavior, the Doan Law Firm is dedicated to bringing adequate compensation to innocent victims. Camp supervisors must be held accountable for the safety of all children. Trouble often occurs when camps hire inexperienced counselors, which jeopardizes the kids. The camp is responsible for properly training employees and not hiring pedophiles. Even though time may be limited, it is vital to educate workers about the appropriate ways to protect children. Performing simple background checks would eliminate many of the problems. Often, sex offenders look for camps that have lenient hiring practices. This gives them openings to take advantage and molest children.
