Zantac Settlement Update: GSK has reached a significant settlement, agreeing to pay up to $2.2 billion to resolve 80,000 lawsuits, claiming its discontinued heartburn drug Zantac caused cancer.
This settlement marks a critical moment in the ongoing mass tort cases against pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Sanofi, and Boehringer Ingelheim. While GSK admits no wrongdoing, the decision underscores the complexities and high stakes of drug litigation.
This serves as a reminder of the importance of holding corporations accountable and ensuring consumer safety. Our team is closely following these developments to help affected clients navigate this legal landscape.

A powerful reminder that corporate accountability matters. A jury in Connecticut has awarded $15 million to Evan Plotkin, a man who developed mesothelioma after decades of using Johnson & Johnson's talc powder. This case is just one of many raising serious questions about product safety and transparency in the marketplace. As we watch the outcome of this case and the broader mass tort litigation surrounding J&J, it's clear that individuals harmed by dangerous products deserve justice. Companies must prioritize consumer safety over profit—because lives are at stake. If you or someone you know has been impacted by harmful products, don't hesitate to seek legal counsel. We’re here to fight for you. #MassTorts #CorporateAccountability #Mesothelioma #ProductLiability #JusticeForVictims

https://www.goldwellmuseum.org/up-coming-events/40th-anniversary?ref=thelist.vegas
Last week, 47 members of Congress urged the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the toxic herbicide, Paraquat.
Paraquat is linked to life-threatening diseases and grave impacts on the environment.
Paraquat exposure is connected to: • Parkinson’s Disease • non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and • Thyroid Cancer as well as an Increase in soil & water pollution
It's already banned in 70 countries.
the letter states: We urge the EPA to deliver critical protections for farmworkers, agricultural communities, and the environment by banning Paraquat."
There are currently almost 6,000 lawsuits related to Paraquat are pending in the U.S.
This landmark action by Congress is a critical step toward protecting public health and the environment—a move that should have been made long ago.

Could your contraceptive be putting your health at risk? Here’s what pharmaceutical companies allegedly kept quiet. Depo-Provera is a popular contraceptive used by millions of women worldwide. While it effectively prevents pregnancy, recent studies raise alarming questions about its safety. the British Medical Journal recenrtly found that women who used Depo-Provera had a staggering 550% increased risk of developing brain tumors, specifically intracranial meningiomas. Despite these findings, the pharmaceutical company Pfizer has faced criticism for allegedly failing to adequately inform users about these risks
“Despite evidence suggesting these risks, the product label remains silent. Critics argue this lack of transparency puts women’s health at serious risk.” That's a massive concern for nearly 2 million women who rely on this contraceptive.” “Despite these findings, the pharmaceutical company Pfizer has faced criticism for allegedly failing to adequately inform users about these risks. In fact, many women have reported severe symptoms, like chronic headaches, dizziness, and cognitive deficits after prolonged use.”
“Legal allegations against Pfizer claim they knew about these risks but chose not to warn users or prescribers. This has led to a wave of lawsuits, with plaintiffs seeking justice and accountability from the pharmaceutical giant.”
Your health matters. Don’t let pharmaceutical companies keep you in the dark.
It’s time to hold companies accountable for the products they sell.

Back in the 1950s, beauty routines like this promised elegance, sophistication, and sleek, straight hair—especially for Black women. The products seemed harmless… back then. "But behind the promise of beauty, products like chemical relaxers often hid a dangerous reality. Fast forward to today, and we now know these hair relaxers contain chemicals that can lead to serious health risks, including cancer." For decades, women have trusted these products, only to find out years later the hidden costs. Studies now show that these chemicals persist in the body, causing harm that could take a lifetime to undo. Now, with lawsuits underway, it’s time to hold these companies accountable for putting profits above people. They knew about the risks, but chose to stay quiet, leaving those who trusted them to pay the price. This case isn’t just about justice—it’s about ensuring these corporations can no longer ignore the safety of their consumers.

Imagine a law that lets 10-year-olds face detention.
Maryland just passed one—here’s what you need to know.
Under this new law, children as young as 10 who commit serious crimes,
like vehicle theft or crimes involving handguns, can now be sent to juvenile detention.
These reforms aim to reduce re-offenses, yet some worry about the impact of involving children so young in the justice system.
But there's more to Maryland’s juvenile justice story.
Recently, lawsuits have emerged from over 200 former juvenile detainees
alleging decades of abuse in Maryland’s detention facilities.
Allegations include physical and sexual abuse by detention staff,
with many cases dating back as far as the 1960s.
Critics of the new law fear that younger,
more vulnerable children could now face similar harm.
As the state’s oversight committee monitors these changes, many are left questioning:
Will these reforms protect kids,
or put them at even greater risk?
If you or someone you know has been affected by Maryland’s juvenile detention system,
we’re here to support you in seeking justice.

A deadly secret hidden for decades: Hair relaxers, marketed as safe and effective, have been linked to ovarian and uterine cancer. 🚨 For years, Black women—disproportionately affected—trusted these products, only to discover the risks too late. Now, landmark lawsuits are holding beauty companies accountable for their silence. 💡 It’s time to demand transparency in the beauty industry.
Survivors are speaking out against the abuse they endured in Pennsylvania’s juvenile detention facilities. Over 60 people have filed lawsuits, revealing a disturbing pattern of neglect and mistreatment by staff. This is a call for accountability and justice for vulnerable youth who were failed by the system.
JuvenileJustice #ChildAbuseSurvivors #YouthRights #JusticeForKids #Pennsylvania #LegalReform #DemandChange
Disturbing images have emerged from inside Philadelphia’s Juvenile Justice Center... showing children forced to sleep on the floors in overcrowded, filthy cells.
This facility, designed to hold over 184 youth, is now overcrowded with over 230, leaving kids without proper access to beds, bathrooms, or even the right to a darkened room at night.
For more than a year, the city and state have been locked in a legal fight, while young people are being deprived of basic human rights.
The state’s response? Consider housing them in a unit of a maximum-security men’s prison.
These kids—many of them there for minor probation violations—are now pleading for change, asking: How long will they be treated like animals?
It’s time we demand better for our youth. This isn’t justice—it’s trauma, and it’s happening right now in Philadelphia.
The Department of Justice opened an investigation into abuse allegations at multiple California women’s prisons.
[Insert clip of testimony]
Breanne Winfield is one of many survivors who are courageously sharing their stories.
[Insert clip of testimony]
For years, women have come forward, reporting abuse at the hands of those meant to protect them. Many were ignored or even punished for speaking out.
[Insert clip of her testimony]
No one should have to endure this kind of trauma. Especially while in the custody of our correctional system.
This powerful testimony is a reminder of the ongoing fight for accountability in the United State’s prison system.
Over a decade of silence, fear, and unimaginable abuse. Survivors at Chowchilla and Chino prisons are breaking their silence, exposing the truth about what happened behind bars. These allegations are a wake-up call to demand accountability and justice. No one should endure this. #JusticeForSurvivors
in the caption mention the lawsuits too. i like this, just add a sentence about the lawsuit at the end: "50 years of silence, lies, and lives forever changed. The beauty industry sold us 'safe' hair relaxers while knowing the truth: these products disproportionately harmed Black women, causing devastating health impacts. How much longer will profit come before people? It's time to demand justice.
A new law in Maryland allows children as young as 10 to be placed in juvenile detention for serious crimes. While the goal is to reduce repeat offenses, the risks are undeniable. Over 200 former detainees have filed lawsuits, revealing decades of abuse in youth facilities. Critics worry this new law could expose even younger, more vulnerable children to the same horrors. Will this law protect kids or place them at greater risk?

Imagine losing your entire farm because of chemicals you didn’t even put there.
That’s the devastating reality for ranchers in Texas, where a group of toxic chemicals known as PFAS—‘forever chemicals’—are wreaking havoc. These chemicals, used in firefighting foam, nonstick cookware, and even food packaging, don’t break down in the environment or our bodies.
Studies link PFAS to thyroid, testicular, and kidney cancer uterine cancers.
A rancher in Johnson County, has watched his cattle die and his land become uninhabitable—all due to PFAS contamination.
These chemicals enter farms through treated wastewater and fertilizer made from contaminated biosolids. But Texas has no laws to stop this from happening.
Local leaders are pushing back. They’ve passed resolutions urging lawmakers to test and regulate biosolids for PFAS. But unlike Michigan, which already tests and bans high-PFAS fertilizers, Texas has no standards. No action.
While ranchers lose their livelihoods, PFAS contamination spreads. The question remains: Why isn’t Texas protecting its farmers?
Across the country, lawsuits are mounting against manufacturers like 3M, DuPont, and others, accused of knowingly contaminating water supplies and failing to warn the public of the dangers.
Together, we can hold polluters accountable and protect our communities. The time to act is now.

Hey Cameron! I’m sharing a script for a TikTok video I’d like to create. With the Luigi Mangione story going viral right now, I thought it would be timely to create a piece that ties his story back to Shield. I found that his family owns nursing homes, and there are complaints of abuse citations associated with them, which could help highlight broader issues in elder abuse.
The relevant information can be found here: • Medicare.gov Inspection Reports • HHS OIG Enforcement Action • Mangione Family Ties Healthcare Industry If the specifics about his family feel too pointed, we can tone it down or omit them entirely. Let me know your thoughts and any changes you’d like to make, and I can proceed with creating the video.

If you’ve noticed any of these 5 signs in your child, it could mean they’re dealing with a gaming addiction:
- They’re irritable or angry when they’re not playing.
- They’re skipping meals or staying up late just to keep playing.
- Their grades or social life are taking a nosedive.
- They lie about how much time they spend gaming.
- They seem totally uninterested in anything else, even things they used to love.

Paraquat—a popular weed killer—has been linked to Parkinson’s disease and other severe health issues. For decades, this toxic chemical has been used on farms, lawns, and even public spaces, with little warning of its dangers. If you or someone you know has been exposed to Paraquat, it might be time to take a closer look at the facts and seek accountability.

Let’s take you behind the scenes of a typical day at Shield Legal. Yesterday kicked off with a tour of our brand-new office, where I had the pleasure of hosting M.J. Blakely of The Blakely Firm and Darren A. Miller of D. Miller & Associates, PLLC®. We explored every corner of what makes Shield Legal a powerhouse. But this is Vegas, and we don’t do ordinary. We headed to Allegiant Stadium for a Las Vegas Raiders game. Bryan Aylstock and Chris Klotz of AWKO and Danny Abir of ACTS LAW also joined the festivities. The luxury suite experience is unreal – 50-yard line views, incredible food, and a custom Raiders dessert basket. Darren had the honor of smashing this bad boy. Talk about sweetening the day! And this old fashioned station? It kept everyone in high spirits. In Las Vegas, we go big, and Shield Legal is no exception. We take pride in treating our clients to experiences that are as memorable as they are meaningful. After all, business is about relationships, and at Shield Legal, we’re all about making them unforgettable.
In a series of high-profile cases across the U.S., nursing homes have been exposed for systemic neglect and fraud. These cases highlight the tragic consequences of abse, from verbal mistreatment to wrongful dath. As these cases unfold, one thing is clear: the fight for justice is just beginning for those who have suffered in silence.
A vending machine, a vitamin drink, and a string of chilling deaths. The Paraquat Murders terrorized Japan in the 1980s, leaving investigators with more questions than answers. Who poisoned those drinks—and why? Decades later, the case remains unsolved. But paraquat’s story doesn’t end there. This toxic herbicide is still in use, with links to severe illnesses sparking lawsuits and raising alarms worldwide.
A Missouri jury just sent a powerful message to formula makers, awarding $495 million to a family whose premature baby suffered life-altering injuries after developing NEC from Similac formula.

The Palisades Fire has burned over 11,800 acres. Zero percent containment. Thousands of homes destroyed. 155,000+ under evacuation orders. In Altadena, entire blocks consumed by flames. Firefighters are battling high winds, limited resources, and devastating losses. As communities burn, another danger grows: AFFF firefighting foam. The foam used to suppress flames contains toxic chemicals. AFFF is linked to cancer and other serious health risks. Lawsuits are being filed by firefighters and residents exposed to these chemicals. As California rebuilds, the fight against these fires is far from over. But at what cost? The long-term consequences are still unfolding.
In California, the fires are only part of the story. As wildfires tear through communities, leaving behind devastation and memories reduced to ash, another danger lurks in the shadows. AFFF—firefighting foam—was meant to save lives, but it’s now a toxic reminder of a cost we weren’t prepared to pay. Firefighters, families, and a state on edge. The aftermath isn’t just about rebuilding homes; it’s about facing a hidden legacy of harm. #CaliforniaFires #AFFF #WildfireCrisis"
But as the flames fade, another danger lingers—one that’s been smoldering in the shadows for years. AFFF, the firefighting foam used to save lives, is now linked to cancers that are claiming the lives of those who fought to put out these very flames. The fires may be out, but the battle isn’t over. Lawsuits are mounting, and the price of protection is being paid in ways we weren’t ready for. #CaliforniaFires #AFFF #CancerRisk #WildfireCrisis"
Outrageous: 74 million women worldwide trusted Depo-Provera, but a new study shows it could increase the risk of brain tumors by 5.6x after just a year of use. How was this allowed to happen? Women deserve better than being left in the dark about these risks. It’s time to demand accountability.
The LA fires are exposing a hidden danger in our air—one that corporations have known about for decades. As homes burn, asbestos, lead, and toxic chemicals are released, turning this tragedy into a man-made disaster. We’re all breathing it. It’s time to demand accountability.
Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody's ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.

At least 20 teens have taken their own lives because of AI-powered sextortion schemes, reveals FBI Director Christopher Wray.
4chan and Discord are by far the most dangerous popular online platforms—allowing and enabling extreme and violent ideologies, from mass shooters to sextortion cults that coerce children into self-harm. And yet TikTok was the target with bipartisan support.
with up to 100 children a day coerced. These abuses can escalate to horrific acts like this
In April last year the NCA issued an urgent warning about sextortion, following a significant increase in global sextortion cases, with reports to the @NCMEC more than doubling from 10,731 in 2022 to 26,718 in 2023.
Why is r/sextortion growing exponentially?
This "Black Mirror Scam" has already led over 20 teens to take their own lives and even the FBI admits to seeing an "explosion" of cases.
Well according to a Department of Homeland Security report, you can blame AI:
"Criminals use AI to manipulate benign photos into sexually explicit content, which is then used to coerce victims into providing real explicit material, money, or other demands. The FBI has documented a significant increase in such cases..."
"The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children saw a more than 300% increase in reports concerning online enticement from 2021 to 2023"
The tragic part is how this is affecting teens: "Among reports that include details on victim impact, 1 in 6 discuss thoughts of sucde or self-harm."
The AI propagandists like to talk about all of AI's glorious benefits, yet as they pursue an unrealistic fantasy it's worth pointing out all the torture and death we're encountering, ominous warning signs of what lies ahead.

To the best of my knowledge this makes three boys who have taken their own lives after being victims of sextortion
Why is the media not talking more about this?

https://abc7.com/post/turpin-siblings-file-civil-lawsuit-riverside-county-after-enduring-years-abuse/15451575/ , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPkpYG-ZPg
Rescued from unimaginable abuse, the Turpin siblings hoped for safety in foster care. Instead, they faced more trauma—this time from a broken system. Their journey from rescue to betrayal is the heart of a lawsuit that could change how foster care works across the nation.
Timeline of events, with archival images of the siblings being rescued, followed by the placement with their new foster parents, the Olguins.
The Turpin children—victims of horrific abuse by their biological parents, were taken into foster care, their hopes for safety high. But they were placed in the care of the Olguins, a couple who would become their new abusers. Despite multiple reports to authorities of ongoing abuse, the system failed them again and again.
Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. Nationally, over 400,000 children are in foster care, and experts estimate that up to 40% of them will face some form of abuse while in the system. Sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation are alarmingly common in foster homes, especially when they are overcrowded and underfunded. In fact, children in group homes and foster homes are often targeted by predators. The lack of supervision and resources allows the abuse to continue unchecked.
End with a poignant shot of a courthouse, emphasizing the ongoing legal battle.
13 kids. Decades of abuse. One brave escape.
The Turpin siblings survived one nightmare, only to be failed by the system meant to protect them.
In 2018, Jordan Turpin, just 17 years old, escaped her family’s house of horrors. She called 911, saving her 12 siblings from years of torture, starvation, and being chained to their beds.
The world celebrated their rescue, but what followed was almost as shocking as the life they left behind.
After surviving their parents, the Turpin siblings were placed in a foster home with a family that continued to abuse them.
Forced to eat vomit, hit with belts, and subjected to further trauma.
Despite multiple reports of abuse, nothing was done to stop the ongoing harm.
Now, the siblings are suing Riverside County and the foster care agency that placed them in harsm way and ignored repeated warnings.
They’re demanding systemic changes —so no other foster child suffers the same.
Lawsuits are being filed across the country shining a light on a broken system and remind us that children, no matter where they are, deserve to be safe.
How do we rebuild trust in a system meant to protect the most vulnerable among us?
These everyday things used to be normal. Now we know they’re deadly.
From your makeup to your walls, here are 5 things we thought were safe. but could actually kill you.
1. Radiation in Makeup
Imagine rubbing radioactive material on your face. Sounds insane, right? But in the 1930s, radium was the ‘miracle ingredient’ in makeup.
Brands like Tho-Radia promised radiant skin, but the glow came from radiation.
Women had no idea they were trading wrinkles for cancer.
Radium was finally banned in beauty products in 1968, closing a dark chapter in the history of “scientific” skincare.
2. Asbestos in Homes
Once hailed as a miracle insulator, asbestos was everywhere in the 1940s-1970s.
It was used in walls, your insulation, even your tiles.
It was cheap, fireproof, and durable.
But its tiny fibers are deadly and inhaling it can cause lung scarring, cancer, and death.
Despite its deadly risks, asbestos remained common in homes for decades.
It took years of illness and lawsuits before asbestos was phased out.
3. Hair Relaxers
For over a century, hair relaxers promised sleek, manageable hair.
First developed in the early 1900s, these products became household staples, despite little regulation.
Now, long-term use is linked to uterine cancer.
Now, as more women speak out, lawsuits are exposing decades of negligence by manufacturers.
4. Lead Paint
Before 1978, lead-based paint was everywhere.
Used in millions of homes for its vibrant color and durability.
But back then, no one knew the full extent of the risks
Lead is toxic and exposure can cause brain damage, learning disabilities, and even death.
The dangers were first recognized in the 1950s, but it wasn’t until the late 1970s that the government stepped in with a ban.
5. Paraquat:
For decades, Paraquat was the go-to herbicide for farmers. It was cheap, effective, and deadly.
It’s since been linked to Parkinson’s disease, lung damage, and cancer.
While over 70 countries have banned it, it’s still legal in the U.S.
As the evidence grows, over 6,000 lawsuits now seek justice for those harmed by Paraquat.
These products were once everyday items.
Now we know better.
But the fight for accountability isn’t over.
Some battles for justice are still being fought today.

Thousands of detainees in LA County’s juvenile detention centers were abused, and it was swept under the rug for decades.
From the 1990s to as recently as 2017, detainees were subjected to mistreatment by probation officers.
They were groomed with gifts, threatened with solitary confinement, and pressured into silence.
Now, over 5,000 survivors are coming forward. But why are we only hearing about this now?
Because until 2019, they couldn’t sue.
That changed when California passed a law that extended the time limit for survivors of childhood abuse to seek justice.
Since then, lawsuits have surged to over 5,000.
One attorney described the scope as “on the order of what we’ve seen from the Catholic Church.”
Experts say the cost of settlements could reach $3 billion.
But for survivors, this is about breaking the cycle and ensuring history won’t repeat itself for future generations.
The Catholic Church scandal changed how we see institutional abuse.
Could this be the moment LA County is finally forced to face its past?

A billion-dollar industry sold an image of beauty while hiding a darker reality. The side effects weren’t just dry hair or breakage. Research now shows that women who used chemical hair relaxers for years face a heightened risk of uterine cancer, breast cancer, and other serious health conditions. They profited. Women paid the price. But the fight isn’t over.
Do an online search for the Texas Two-Step, and you’ll get cowboy boots, country music, and dance tutorials.
You’ll also get legal explainers. Because corporations have found a way to two-step their way out of billions in lawsuits.
Johnson & Johnson was staring down years of litigation and potentially billions in settlements over claims that their talc-based baby powder contained asbestos and caused cancer.
Their legal team had an idea—one that would rewrite the playbook on corporate liability.
Enter: the Texas Two-Step—a legal loophole that sounds like a dance move but is actually a controversial corporate strategy.
It dates back to the 1980s, when Texas updated its business laws to allow companies to split into two separate entities. The idea was originally meant to help businesses reorganize, but corporations quickly realized it had another use: dodging liability.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1️⃣: A company splits itself into two. One company keeps the money and the assets. The other? It gets all the lawsuits.
Step 2️⃣: The company with the lawsuits immediately files for bankruptcy.
The result? The parent company—like J&J—keeps making billions while the victims are left fighting a bankrupt entity with limited funds.
Critics call it legal sleight of hand—a way for rich companies to dodge accountability. Even Congress is taking notice, with bipartisan lawmakers calling for the Supreme Court to shut it down.
But corporations argue it’s an efficient way to handle massive lawsuits.
So, is it a smart legal move? Or corporate America’s get-out-of-jail-free card?
There was a time when kids played with liquid mercury like it was a toy.
When doctors endorsed cigarettes in magazines.
When people thought radiation could make you beautiful.
Looking back, it seems absurd. But every era has its blind spots.
Here are 5 things we thought were safe—but could actually kill you.
1. Asbestos in Homes
Once hailed as a miracle insulator, asbestos was everywhere in the 1940s-1970s.
It was used in walls, your insulation, even your tiles. It was cheap, fireproof, and durable.
But its tiny fibers are deadly and inhaling it can cause lung scarring, cancer, and death.
Despite its deadly risks, asbestos remained common in homes for decades.
It took years of illness and lawsuits before asbestos was phased out.
2. Hair Relaxers
For over a century, hair relaxers promised sleek, manageable hair.
First developed in the early 1900s, these products became household staples, despite little regulation.
Now, long-term use is linked to uterine cancer.
Now, as more women speak out, lawsuits are exposing decades of negligence by manufacturers.
3. Radiation in Makeup
Imagine rubbing radioactive material on your face.
Sounds insane, right? But in the 1930s, radium was the ‘miracle ingredient’ in makeup.
Brands like Tho-Radia promised radiant skin, but the glow came from radiation.
Women had no idea they were trading wrinkles for cancer.
Radium was finally banned in beauty products in 1968, closing a dark chapter in the history of “scientific” skincare.
4. Lead Paint
Before 1978, lead-based paint was everywhere.
Used in millions of homes for its vibrant color and durability.
But back then, no one knew the full extent of the risks.
Lead is toxic and exposure can cause brain damage, learning disabilities, and even death.
The dangers were first recognized in the 1950s, but it wasn’t until the late 1970s that the government stepped in with a ban.
- Paraquat For decades, Paraquat was the go-to herbicide for farmers.
It was cheap, effective, and deadly.
This toxic chemical, used to kill weeds, has been linked to Parkinson’s disease, lung damage, and cancer.
While over 70 countries have banned it, it’s still legal in the U.S. As the evidence grows, over 6,000 lawsuits now seek justice for those harmed by Paraquat.
These products were once everyday items.
Now we know better. But the fight for accountability isn’t over. Some battles for justice are still being fought today.
Title TBD is a guest-driven podcast that explores the world of mass tort litigation through engaging conversations with experts, insiders, and those directly impacted by major cases. Hosted by [Your Name] and [Coworker’s Name], the show breaks down complex legal topics in an accessible, thought-provoking way. Rather than acting as legal authorities, the hosts serve as curious guides, asking the questions that matter and uncovering the human stories behind mass torts. With a mix of sharp insights, compelling narratives, and dynamic personalities, Title TBD brings an informative yet conversational approach to a high-stakes industry.
This will appeal to true crime fans by delivering investigative storytelling and high-stakes conflict, but instead of violent criminals, the antagonists are powerful institutions. While it scratches that same itch for uncovering wrongdoing, Read Out Loud sets itself apart by focusing on systemic failures rather than individual crimes, and it doesn’t follow the typical dark, sensationalized tone of true crime podcasts.
his birth control shot has been around for decades—but recent studies link it to a higher risk of brain tumors after long-term use. If you've been on Depo for 5+ years and have symptoms like headaches, vision changes, or dizziness, pay attention. Pharma companies should warn consumers about risks. If they don’t, they need to be held accountable. If you or someone you love has developed a brain tumor after using Depo-Provera, you may be entitled to compensation. Stay informed. Know your rights. Let’s demand better.
Former FBI Director Christopher Wray explains how predators use gaming platforms to blackmail kids. This crime is thriving in online spaces where companies know it’s happening but refuse to act.
Internal reports show they knew k**ds were being targeted. They just didn’t want to deal with it. Engagement and addiction kept their bottom line growing, while safety took a backseat.
Victims are now turning to the courts as these platforms face growing scrutiny over their unsafe practices and exploitative business models.
For decades, LA County’s juvenile detention system buried the truth. Now, over 5,000 survivors are taking legal action, exposing a long history of abuse, cover-ups, and institutional failure. As these lawsuits unfold, the true cost will be measured not just in settlements, but in the overdue reckoning that threatens to reshape the way we think about justice for vulnerable communities.
Footage obtained by the Times shows L.A. County probation officers standing by as a group of at least 6 teens beat another youth in a Los Angeles Juvenile Detention Center.
Over 30 detention service officers have now been indicted on charges including child endangerment, abuse, conspiracy, and battery.
The indictment alleges that the officers "allowed and encouraged" over 69 fights among youth inmates. More than 140 victims between the ages of 12 and 18 were involved.
Over 140 victims, aged 12 to 18, were involved in these incidents.
Despite a state order to close the troubled facility, L.A. County supervisors have taken emergency measures to keep it open due to a shortage of juvenile detention centers.
The indictments add to a growing list of controversies surrounding the Probation Department.
Los Angeles County Public Defender Ricardo Garcia stated, “The probation system and its underlying culture are broken. Accountability for those who have failed to protect our youth is long overdue — there is no justice in a system that abuses the very youth it is entrusted to care for.”

Dozens of officers at a juvenile detention center are being charged for facilitating “gladiator fights” between youth detainees. The charges come after a video was leaked of one of the alleged “gladiator fights.” An indictment alleges that 30 officers allowed - and in some instances, encouraged - dozens of fights among youth inmates at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey, California, between July and December 2023. There are allegedly more than 140 victims, and some were as young as 12 years old. L.A. County is also battling nearly 600 lawsuits from former detainees, alleging systemic sexual abuse and misconduct spanning two decades.
100 kids a day are falling victim to video game sextortion scams—many are too ashamed, terrified, or manipulated to tell anyone until it’s too late. The FBI reports cases have tripled in just three years. Platforms like Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite, with millions of young users, have become hunting grounds for predators. Parents assumed these platforms were safe. But mounting lawsuits tell a different story—one of ignored warnings, failed protections, and devastating consequences. Families are now taking action, demanding accountability for the harm done. The question is: Will these companies finally listen? #sextortion #protectourkids #classaction
