DENVER (AP) — State lawmakers will hold a hearing Thursday concerning allegations of child abuse at a youth detention facility in Greeley.
Loveland Republican Rep. B.J. Nikkel says she wants to know how children got injured at the Platte Valley Youth Services Center.
The Associated Press reported last year that a girl's wrist was broken while she was being restrained. Another youth claimed he was injured when a counselor sat on him while he was handcuffed.
Neither incident was reported to police.
The Joint House and Senate Health & Human Services Committee asked state officials to appear before the committee Thursday to explain their policies.
