What Happened at Home of the Innocents
Home of the Innocents, a private residential treatment facility in Louisville, Kentucky, has documented incidents involving the abuse of vulnerable children in its care. The facility has faced allegations including the sexual assault of a 12-year-old boy with intellectual disability and inappropriate touching of a 9-year-old boy by a staff member in 2022. Additionally, the facility has experienced multiple runaway incidents, raising concerns about supervision and safety protocols for children who require specialized residential treatment.
