A lawyer representing more than a dozen former residents of a Michigan nonprofit home for at-risk girls claims they endured sexual and psychological abuse at the facility, which he describes as a “real-life ‘Hunger Games.’”
At a press conference Wednesday in Dearborn Heights, attorney Michael Jaafar, representing 13 to 15 former Vista Maria residents, said the vulnerable girls were forced to fight each other for guards’ amusement and were subjected to physical and sexual abuse. A lawsuit will follow, he said.
