A disturbing report has emerged alleging that children held at a U.S. detention centre were forced to participate in organised fights. The accounts claim that staff members not only witnessed these violent encounters but also actively encouraged them, creating a 'fight club' atmosphere.
On 3rd March, Rob Bonta, California's Attorney General, disclosed a grand jury indictment against 30 detention services officers at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey, California, accusing them of child endangerment, abuse, conspiracy, and battery.
