Flagstaff, Ariz. • Another member of the Navajo Nation is suing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, saying he was abused in a now-defunct program that sent children into foster care for the school year.
Unlike similar lawsuits, the complaint filed Tuesday in tribal court doesn’t seek changes to the policies of the church. It seeks unspecified monetary damages for decades of alleged emotional harm, including attempted suicide.
"This poor guy. He was devastated by what happened, just devastated," said David Jordan, an attorney for the man identified as LB in court documents.
