Recent lawsuits have been filed against Four Winds Hospitals, located in Saratoga Springs and Katonah, New York, alleging widespread sexual abuse of minors in their care between 2000 and 2023. Approximately two dozen lawsuits were filed in Westchester County, where Four Winds is headquartered, with at least seven specifically concerning the Saratoga Springs location. The lawsuits claim that hospital staff members engaged in sexual abuse and used tactics like threats to silence the vulnerable child victims, some as young as six. These allegations suggest a failure by Four Winds to adequately supervise staff and act on prior abuse reports, creating an environment where sexual misconduct was tolerated. Court documents in Westchester County also mention an investigation into the rape of a 10-year-old at the Katonah facility and a 2017 case where a former employee was prosecuted for sexually abusing a 19-year-old patient. Four Winds Hospitals have denied the allegations in their responses and are seeking dismissal of the complaints. Plaintiffs' attorneys are currently gathering more evidence, including investigating records and public reports.

An internal investigation by the U.S. Army, detailed in a 115-page report, highlighted communication and procedural failures that allowed a reservist, who later committed a mass shooting, to evade psychiatric treatment after his release from a private hospital. The report noted that Army investigators were unable to fully understand the circumstances of the gunman, Robert Card's, abrupt discharge from Four Winds Hospital in Katonah, New York, where he was hospitalized in the summer of 2023. According to the report, officials at Four Winds Hospital declined to speak with the Army investigators, leaving questions unanswered regarding the reasons for Card's release despite the hospital's discharge summary acknowledging his expressed 'homicidal ideations' and resistance to treatment during his 19-day stay. The report also indicated that Card's access to post-discharge treatment was poor and that he was released without follow-up appointments, only 'referrals pending.' This situation contributed to a portrait of a soldier whose troubling behavior was not effectively managed by a disjointed mental health system.

An internal investigation by the U.S. Army into the Lewiston mass shooting raised questions about the discharge of the gunman, Robert Card, from Four Winds Hospital in Katonah, where he had been transferred for a behavioral health examination. The Army report highlighted communication and procedural failures within the military but also noted that officials at Four Winds declined to cooperate with investigators, leaving the reasons for Card's abrupt release unclear. Despite the hospital's discharge summary reportedly acknowledging Card expressed "homicidal ideations" and was resistant to treatment during his 19-day stay, he was released without follow-up appointments.
