A woman who worked at New Hampshire’s youth detention center three decades ago says supervisors and staff were dismissive at best and menacing at worst when she reported suspected abuse.
Tomorrow is a Weather Authority Alert Day for Jacksonville: Damaging wind gusts and strong to severe thunderstormsNationalFILE - The Sununu Youth Services Center in Manchester, N.H., stands among trees, Jan. 28, 2020. Karen Lemoine, a woman who worked at New Hampshires youth detention center three decades ago, testified Wednesday, April 10, 2024, that supervisors and staff were dismissive at best and menacing at worst when she reported suspected abuse.
“No, it was my experience that it was a horrendous nightmare,” Lemoine said. “I never saw one wholesome interaction.” Lemoine said her initial attempts to raise concerns were met with polite brushoffs, but things soon escalated. A house manager crumpled up her written complaints and threw them at her. The superintendent said perhaps Lemoine was the problem. As she walked down dark corridors on her night shift, male staffers would “hip check” her and hiss “ rat!” “I felt terrified for the rest of the night,” she said.
