Lawsuit Filed by Harmony Montgomery’s Mother Against New Hampshire for Wrongful Death

The wrongful death lawsuit filed by Crystal Sorey, the mother of Harmony Montgomery, alleges that New Hampshire officials ignored warning signs that could have prevented the tragic death of her daughter at the hands of her father. The lawsuit holds the Division for Children, Youth and Families responsible for failing to protect Harmony despite numerous reports from family members and neighbors about her well-being. Harmony’s father, Adam Montgomery, was sentenced to 56 years in prison for beating her to death in December 2019. Despite reports of physical and emotional abuse, including an incident where Adam Montgomery admitted to hitting Harmony, the agency did not take appropriate action to ensure her safety. The lawsuit also highlights concerns about Harmony’s lack of medical care while in her father’s custody and alleges that the state failed to meet the minimum standards of care for her. The lawsuit seeks a jury trial to hold the state accountable for its alleged negligence. The attorney general’s office has stated that they will review the complaint and respond as appropriate. The tragic case of Harmony Montgomery underscores the importance of vigilance and prompt action in protecting vulnerable children from harm.
