Plaintiffs alleged that a large child care institution had for years negligently allowed three workers to physically, emotionally and sexually abuse children between the ages of 6 and 14. 

Plaintiffs’ counsel retained Atrium to evaluate thirteen of these cases.  Each of the plaintiffs exhibited symptoms of childhood trauma such as drug dependence, sexually aberrant behaviors, difficulty maintaining intimate relationships, employment problems, inability to trust others, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and some criminal behavior.
