(CN) — Citing the differences between mentally unwell unaccompanied minors and pre-trial immigrant detainees, an appeals court revived a challenge against a rural Virginia juvenile detention facility Tuesday. The 39-page opinion, authored by Chief U.S. Circuit Judge Roger Gregory, reversed a federal court opinion which found the children’s claims, including alleged physical abuse in place of medical and mental health care, failed to meet the standard required to survive dismissal.
