 Olivia Y. et al. v.
Haley Barbour et al. Complaint in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of
Mississippi, Jackson Division
Every year, the State
of Mississippi receives over 10,000 reports that children are
being physically abused, starved, sexually abused, neglected, or
otherwise maltreated. The State is charged with the responsibility
of protecting these children. It is failing in its duty. Through
years of mismanagement, underfunding, and deliberate indifference,
the State has knowingly allowed its system for protecting children
to collapse, leaving Mississippi's most vulnerable children
defenseless. This is a civil rights class action lawsuit on behalf
of Mississippi's abused and neglected children.
