Attorneys Standing Up for Victims of Child Sexual Abuse
When you send your child off to summer camp, you expect that your child will experience new adventures and come home with light-hearted, fun-filled memories. It is devastating when your child instead returns with horrific memories of the sexual abuse he or she endured — memories that may take years to bring forward and that may permanently scar the child.
At the Turley Law Firm, we comprehend the anger, shock, frustration and sense of helplessness that parents often face when they learn of the suffering that their child endured at camp. We fight for truth and justice on behalf of sexual abuse victims in Texas and throughout the nation. Not only is our focus on obtaining the compensation you deserve, we are dedicated to exposing these heinous crimes so that other children do not fall victim to sexual predators at children's camps. Contact our Dallas Ft. Worth attorneys at the Turley Law Firm to learn how we can help in this delicate situation.

Helping Victims of Sexual Abuse at Religious Camps
Reports of child sexual abuse at religious camps are being reported across the nation. At some camps, such as Camp Good News in Massachusetts, allegations of sexual abuse had been reported and allegedly ignored for decades. Other religious camps have been seemingly trustworthy until allegations were brought forward in recent months or years. It is regrettable the amount of trust placed in these camps — only to have that trust taken advantage of or breached.
Many children who attend deeply admire or even believe they "fall in love" with camp counselors. Sadly, this makes them even more vulnerable to a sexual predator. Other children fall victim to sexual abuse after being given information about what will happen to them or to their family if they don't play along or if they report the conduct. Our attorneys fight hard to pursue accountability for children who have been victims of abuse at camp, such as inappropriate touching, groping, sexual exploitation, sexual enticement, molestation or other sexual conduct.
Kanakuk Kamp is a Branson, Missouri, religious camp that is popular among families in the Southwest. It markets itself as a premium summer camp for boys and girls aged 7 to 18 and focuses on character development with a Christian focus. Unfortunately, it is also the locale where for a decade children came home permanently scarred due to sexual abuse by former camp counselor Pete Newman. The Turley Law Firm has filed a federal lawsuit against Newman, Kanakuk Kamps, owner and founder Joe T. White as well as other named defendants for the physical and emotional suffering that a child endured while at Kanakuk and continues to suffer. Our law firm invites others who have been victims of child sexual abuse or teen sexual abuse at Kanakuk Kamp to bring their stories forward and for parents of victims to reach out to our law firm. We can help you pursue justice.
At the Turley Law Firm, our lawyers fiercely assert claims to bring youth leaders, camp counselors or employees, camp volunteers and other perpetrators to justice for the physical and emotional harm they have caused. Additionally, we seek claims against the conspirators responsible for covering up such conduct as well as against the camp itself for its negligent hiring practices and for its failure to provide a safe environment for the children.
