     ​​​​The youth facility housing Chester County's juveniles awaiting disposition of criminal charges is refusing to release the file of a juvenile that has filed a law suit stating they were injured in the back ​of a police car, in handcuffs, suffering from pepper spray on their face when a police officer refusing medical treatment opened the cop car door and sprayed them with pepper spray again in the face while the juvenile argued with another police officer.  The law suit states the juvenile was taken to the Chester County Hospital Emergency Room for treatment where the juvenile's eyes were flushed with fluid to treat the burning but juvenile records do not document the Emergency Room visit in Chester County's juvenile records.  The Delaware County Juvenile Detention Center is named in the lawsuit as a defendant conspiring with the West Goshen police to hide records indicating the juvenile required Emergency Room care at Chester County Hospital due to excessive police force.  The Delaware County Juvenile Detention Center claims to be "unable to locate any records involving the juvenile" while Chester County's records indicate the juvenile was held at the Delaware County Juvenile Detention Center for three weeks.
