Survivors who were sexually abused as children by staff at a NYC foster care facility may be entitled to significant financial compensation. Find out if you qualify — it's free and confidential.
New York City's foster care system was meant to protect vulnerable children, but for thousands, it became a place of harm. Group home staff, agency workers, and foster parents who were supposed to provide safety instead sexually abused the children in their care. If a staff member sexually abused you as a child in NYC foster care, the law is on your side.
Foster care agencies like HeartShare, JCCA, Graham Windham, and others had a legal obligation to screen their staff, investigate reports of abuse, and ensure children were safe. When they failed in these duties — ignoring warning signs, keeping abusive employees on staff, or covering up complaints — they can be held legally accountable.
Every year, survivors come forward with abuse that occurred in NYC foster care placements. Many stayed silent for years, believing nothing could be done. Recent changes in New York law may allow survivors to seek justice — even for abuse that happened long ago. You are not alone, and it may not be too late.
