Mother of juvenile ‘disappointed’

In the midst of a celebration Friday night, Laurene Transue’s spirits sunk a bit.

Transue was at a birthday party when informed the judge who sent away her daughter after a 60-second hearing could not be sued for allegedly violating the teenager’s constitutional rights.

“I’m very, very disappointed,” Transue said.

The White Haven woman reacted to the court order issued a few hours earlier that cut a big hole in the civil suit brought by her daughter Hillary and other juveniles incarcerated by former Luzerne County Judge Mark A. Ciavarella.
