A lawsuit is underway against a former religious camp and treatment center.
The Lord's Ranch Church Camp was a therapeutic facility created for troubled teens. It was located in the Randolph County community of Warm Springs, just south of the Missouri border, and was open from 1976 to 2016.
Now, former residents are alleging physical and sexual abuse at the facility. Two law firms, Romanucci & Blandin and the Gillispie Law Firm, are bringing several lawsuits on behalf of more than 30 former residents seeking punitive damages.
