Colorado Faces Class-Action Lawsuit for Illegally Detaining Hundreds of Kids: A new lawsuit alleges the state is holding young people in detention centers long after judges order their release, due to a lack of foster homes and services. The suit highlights two teens, one with PTSD and ADHD, held for nearly two months past their release dates, and another with autism kept six months after his release order. The state reports show a significant increase in releasable youth detained, with over half now cleared to leave. Advocates warn this warehousing harms kids deeply, exposing them to violence and staff shortages in troubled facilities.
