The judges sent first-time offenders as young as 8 to detention centers in the “kids-for-cash” scandal.In what is being called one of the worst judicial scandals in American history, two Pennsylvania judges will have to pay over $200 million in damages for their part in the “kids-for-cash” scheme thatJudges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan were previously found guilty of a scheme that got them rich while thousands of kids were sent toFirst, the pair made $2.
. “Their cruel and despicable actions victimized a vulnerable population of young people, many of whom were suffering from emotional issues and mental health concerns.”During the trial, 282 people who were sent to jail because of the kickbacks testified against the judges as well as 32 parents. A full 79 of the people who testified were under 13 when they were locked up.
Perhaps the worst part of the case? The victims and their families will probably not see much, if any, of the $200 million in damages because the judges have few assets.
