What Happened at New Dominion School

New Dominion School in Oldtown, Maryland, a privately-operated detention facility, has documented incidents of abuse and safety violations affecting youth in its care. Records indicate allegations of physical restraint and choking at the facility's Dillwyn location, as well as reports of non-communication punishment and other abusive practices. These incidents highlight concerns about the treatment of vulnerable youth within the facility's programs. Despite these documented allegations, no lawsuits have been filed against New Dominion School, and no financial settlements have been reached. The lack of legal action may indicate that incidents went unreported to authorities or that affected families were unaware of their legal options.
