Summary
New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella's investigation into the Sununu Youth Services Center found no evidence of child abuse as alleged, but identified systemic problems within the facility. The findings have drawn criticism from the Disability Rights Center-NH, one of the original complainants, who question the AG's objectivity given his office's dual role as both investigator and legal representative for the state agency. The report acknowledges operational issues while clearing the center of abuse allegations, creating tension between state officials and youth advocates.

· 3 pulledOverall, we conclude that SYSC is operating within legal boundaries and that claims that youth are currently being abused are unsupported. We did not identify any instances of physical or sexual abuse of youth, nor did we find any evidence of systemic abuse or lack of supervision.
The Attorney General's office is conflicted in this matter because they are charged with investigating the very facility that they are also charged with representing in legal matters.
Systemic problems do exist at the facility and we are committed to working with stakeholders to address them.
