An Illinois DCFS investigation determined two Maine West Staff members abused and neglected children.
The finding appears to be linked to the high school’s soccer team hazing scandal.
A DCFS spokesman said three allegations of abuse have been substantiated, but they were not named.
Two coaches were suspended without pay and have been named in a lawsuit filed by four student athletes who claim they were sexually assaulted during hazing rituals.
The mother of a freshman at Maine West High School in northwest suburban Des Plaines are suing the Maine Township School District over an alleged hazing incident. The lawsuit claims the teen was beaten and sexually assaulted by older players in September. The school confirms that a hazing incident did occur at the school in 2008 but no other details have been released.
