The boys were consistently threatened to keep quiet about the abuse they received at the hands of their counselors, and were punished when they didn’t. One plaintiff, a 15-year-old called Derrick, was told by staff that speaking out about his abuse and injuries was the reason he remained at Glen Mills. “His parents were also told that their inquiries about Derrick’s treatment were the sole cause for Derrick remaining at Glen Mills," according to the lawsuit.
