In 1984, many employees at MacLaren were arrested for crimes committed against children in their care. The year after, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors convened a grand jury to further investigate abuse allegations at the center.
This new legal action was made possible by a 2020 state law that set up a three-year window in California for victims of childhood sexual abuse to seek out redress for past incidents.

In 2019, California passed the California Child Victims Act. It took effect in January 2020. It provides a “look back” window of three years, allowing childhood sexual abuse victims in California to file a lawsuit against their abuser and other responsible parties, regardless of how long ago the abuse happened.
A new legal action in 2020 state law set up a three-year window in California for victims of childhood sexual abuse to seek out redress for past incidents. “The history of allegations of abuse at MacLaren Hall is not lost on us and drives me every day to see through critical reforms for the over 30,000 children in our child welfare system,” said Hilda Solis, the County Supervisor who oversees the district MacLaren was in.
MacLaren Hall, which sits atop a sprawling 10-acres in ElMonte, California, housed children from 1961 to June, 2003 and was shut down following a class-action lawsuit led by the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU).
Plaintiffs have alleged that several staff members would regularly pull them out of their bedrooms during the night and lead them off to secluded locations where they would assault them. There are also reports of employees fondling children as young as five, pretending to help them use the restroom, or “helping” children bathe themselves.
