Ontario youth group home chain hit with $60M proposed class-action over alleged ‘abuse’
has launched the suit and is seeking $50 million in general and special damages and an additional $10 million in punitive damages on behalf of children or young persons who have received residential care from Hatts Off.
Hatts Off operates nine children’s group homes and at least 16 foster homes across southern Ontario. These homes take in children and youth who’ve experienced abuse or have complex mental health needs. “Any incidents that happen in residential care are reported and investigated by the Children’s Aid Societies and Ministry,” he said.
The lawsuit also alleges youths dealt with poorly trained and poorly-supervised staff and there was a lack of resources to meet the kids’ “emotional, developmental and educational needs.”
