The state settlement fund for victims of abuse while incarcerated as children at the Youth Development Center has quietly implemented a temporary hold on claims and payment processing until Aug. 31, causing angst among some who thought they were finally going to get justice.
After years of secrecy surrounding the Sununu Youth Services Center cases then called YDC, the public is going to start learning more about the nightmarish abuse that’s left more than 1,400 victims seeking justice.
InDepthNH.org was in Belknap Superior Court in Laconia on Wednesday for a hearing on Buskey’s motion to block the RSA 91A right-to-know request this reporter filed seeking the internal affairs reports as well as the correspondence between the Sanbornton Police Department and Police Standards and Training about Buskey.
The arrest warrant affidavits against several men charged with abusing children in the Sununu Youth Services Center case, formerly known as YDC in Manchester, are now public for the first time since the investigation began almost five years ago.
BRENTWOOD – New Hampshire’s Department of Health and Human Services says the state is only liable for one incident of abuse at YDC in the David Meehan lawsuit, and therefore only liable to pay $475,000, but Judge Andrew Schulman ruled this week that’s not an option.
The state of New Hampshire’s responsibility for the hundreds of rapes and beatings David Meehan suffered while a teen in state custody is more than proven, and the state cannot get out from under the $38 million verdict, yet, Rockingham Superior Court Judge Andrew Schulman ruled this week.
Judge Andrew Schulman ruled Wednesday it is not appropriate to recall the jury that awarded David Meehan $38 million for the abuse he suffered while incarcerated as a teen at YDC only to find the state says it will only pay $475,000, the cap under state law.
Judge William Delker dismissed the charges on Tuesday and ruled that Frank Davis, 82, is not competent to stand trial and cannot be restored to competency, according to the Attorney General’s Office.
Two of the jurors who awarded David Meehan a record $38 million for the hundreds of rapes and beatings he suffered as a child while in state custody are shocked to learn the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office plans to cap the payout at $475,000.
