Hartgrove Behavioral Health System, located in Chicago, Illinois, is a psychiatric facility that provides inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. Owned and operated by UHS of Hartgrove, Inc., a subsidiary of Universal Health Services (UHS), the facility serves patients suffering from a range of psychiatric disorders, including depression, PTSD, ADHD, and behavioral disorders.

Despite its mission to provide psychiatric care, Hartgrove Hospital has faced persistent allegations of abuse, neglect, and institutional failures, particularly concerning the treatment of minors. Over the years, reports have surfaced of staff members exploiting patients, failure to supervise vulnerable minors, and systemic efforts to cover up abuse rather than report it. These allegations are consistent with issues found across multiple UHS-owned behavioral health facilities.

On this page, we will look at video game addiction lawsuits involving the popular online game Roblox. We will look at the allegations in these lawsuits, who qualifies to bring one of these cases, and the potential settlement amounts for Roblox addiction and sex abuse lawsuits.

Roblox

Roblox, an online video game platform developed by Roblox Corporation, has become a global phenomenon since its release in 2006. With its expansive virtual worlds and user-generated content, Roblox allows players to create, explore, and socialize in immersive environments. By 2024, the platform had over 217 million monthly active users, with more than half under the age of 13. While it is marketed as a safe and educational tool for children, mounting allegations suggest that Roblox Corporation’s practices exploit its youngest users through addictive design, privacy violations, and deceptive marketing.

Streamwood Behavioral Healthcare System, located in Streamwood, Illinois, is a psychiatric facility providing inpatient and outpatient treatment for children, adolescents, and adults struggling with mental health conditions.

Like its sister facility, Hartgrove Behavioral Health System, Streamwood Hospital is owned and operated by Universal Health Services (UHS), a for-profit corporation with a long history of allegations involving patient neglect, safety violations, and sexual abuse.

Despite its stated mission to provide quality mental health care, Streamwood has been plagued by reports of mistreatment, negligence, and institutional failures, that have led to the sexual abuse of minors.  Allegations include sexual and physical abuse by staff, inadequate supervision of vulnerable patients, and cover-ups of reported incidents rather than proper intervention. These claims mirror broader depressing patterns seen across HS-owned psychiatric facilities nationwide.

This page looks at the growing tide of lawsuits alleging that Boston area doctor Derrick Todd, M.D., at Bringham and Women’s Hospital sexually abused hundreds of females.

A growing number of women—228 and counting—have come forward and filed lawsuits alleging that Dr. Todd performed unnecessary pelvic and rectal exams on them for his own sexual gratification. This page will look at who is eligible to file a lawsuit against Dr. Todd and what the potential settlement value of these cases could be.

Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS) has faced extensive litigation across the country, including in Illinois, where several of its behavioral health facilities have been implicated in lawsuits related to the sexual abuse of patients. Among the most notorious UHS-operated facilities in Illinois with documented abuse allegations are Riveredge Hospital, Streamwood Behavioral Health, Rock River Academy (now closed), and Pavilion Behavioral Health System. These facilities, designed to provide mental health treatment to vulnerable individuals, particularly minors, have instead become sites of widespread allegations of abuse, neglect, and administrative failures that allowed sexual predators to exploit patients under their care.

The UHS Model: Profits Over Patient Safety

Universal Health Services is one of the largest behavioral health providers in the United States, operating hundreds of psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient programs nationwide. However, its history is marred by repeated accusations of understaffing, inadequate supervision, and systemic failures to protect patients.
