LFSRL Announces
Child sex abuse lawsuit against EMQ FamiliesFirst
The Law Firm of Sean R. Laird announced the filing of a multi-count complaint against FamiliesFirst, Inc., the corporation which owned and operated the now shuttered EMQ Families First group home in Davis, CA. The allegations were filed on behalf of a 12 year old boy who was the victim of a physical and sexual assault while residing at the facility. The complaint alleges that the assaults took place after the school and its administrators had been made aware that staff reductions were putting students at risk of serious harm.

The complaint alleges that those tasked with supervising and monitoring the facility “ignored the avalanche of warnings which repeatedly put defendants on notice that resident care at EMQ Davis was rapidly deteriorating, and that children were, in turn, suffering harm. In the face of these warnings Defendants provided abysmal care that fell well below how reasonable persons in their situation would have performed.”
