What Happened at Wyoming Behavioral Institute
Wyoming Behavioral Institute in Casper, Wyoming, a privately-operated residential treatment facility, has faced multiple documented safety and abuse allegations spanning several years. The facility, which provides mental health treatment for children and adolescents, has been involved in at least three significant incidents that have raised concerns about patient safety and staff conduct. Among the documented cases, the facility was subject to a civil settlement agreement with Universal Health Services (UHS), though details and the settlement amount remain undisclosed. Additional serious allegations include reports of a child being assaulted multiple times by another patient while in the facility's care, raising questions about supervision protocols and patient protection measures. Most recently, in 2024, Dr. David Martorano faced a sexual harassment lawsuit related to his work at the facility, highlighting ongoing concerns about staff conduct and institutional oversight. While two lawsuits have been filed in connection with these incidents, public records indicate no monetary settlements have been publicly disclosed to date. The pattern of allegations spanning multiple years suggests potential systemic issues with safety protocols and staff oversight at the facility. If you or a family member experienced abuse or unsafe conditions at Wyoming Behavioral Institute, you may wish to consult with an attorney who specializes in institutional abuse cases to understand your legal options.
