Bennett Long Dies by Suicide? Renewed Alabama Lawyer, Obituary and Funeral

Tragedy Strikes: Alabama Youth’s Life Cut Short Amid Allegations of Abuse

In a deeply distressing turn of events, a 15-year-old resident of an Alabama youth treatment facility, Bennett Long, passed away in April due to suicide. Heartbreakingly, a lawsuit filed on Wednesday has brought to light the alleged cycle of repeated sexual, emotional, and physical abuse that Connor endured at the Sequel TIS facility in Tuskegee, now operating under the name Brighter Path. The suit underscores that Connor’s pleas for help were purportedly ignored, ultimately leading to this tragic outcome.

The wrongful death lawsuit, brought forth by attorneys Tommy James of Tommy James Law and Jeremy Knowles of the Morris Haynes law firm, was filed on behalf of Connor’s mother, Ashley Crittenden. The suit claims that Connor’s suffering was a result of a deeply troubling environment at the facility, which was supposed to offer refuge and support to vulnerable youth.

The lawsuit implicates the Sequel TIS of Tuskegee facility, alleging that Connor was subjected to a harrowing ordeal of abuse that included physical, sexual, verbal, and emotional mistreatment by both staff and other residents. The suit paints a grim picture of an environment marred by violence and a lack of supervision, leaving residents like Connor in a state of constant fear and peril.

Despite attempts to escape from the facility, Connor’s cries for help, as well as those of fellow residents, allegedly went unheard or were disregarded by staff. The lawsuit further contends that reports of the abuse Connor suffered were brought to the attention of facility staff and supervisors, yet no meaningful intervention was undertaken to prevent the continuation of these assaults. The suit portrays a heartbreaking narrative of desperation and lost hope.

This case is part of a larger pattern of allegations against facilities in the “troubled teen industry,” which include claims of widespread abuse and neglect. The lawsuit is a painful reminder of the urgent need to address and rectify such disturbing practices, ensuring that no individual endures the anguish that Connor allegedly faced.

As the legal proceedings unfold, we remember Connor Bennett and extend our deepest condolences to his family, who are grappling with an unimaginable loss. The hope remains that through this lawsuit, the truth will be uncovered, and justice will be served for Connor and others who may have suffered in silence.
