NBC FEATURES SSS: NBC San Diego reports on a major lawsuit filed by Slater Slater Schulman against the Polinsky Children's Center in San Diego County, on behalf of over 100 clients who were sexually abused by staff members between 1994 and 2020. Adam Slater, Founding and Managing Partner, stated, "It is utterly unacceptable that such heinous acts were allowed to persist in a place meant to provide safety and care. These were children seeking refuge during a highly disruptive moment in their young lives. Rather than providing them a place to be loved and nurtured, the county was sending child after child into their own personal hell."
