Between 1974 and 1986, the Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, were subjected to horrific abuse at the hands of their father, Jose Menendez. This abuse occurred in their homes in New York and New Jersey, long before they moved to Beverly Hills, California. They experienced years of torment and suffering, which has greatly impacted their lives to this day.

For many years, the truth about their early life in New York and New Jersey has been overshadowed by the events that unfolded later in California. However, it is crucial that the abuse they endured during those formative years in New York and New Jersey is not forgotten or ignored.

The current legal landscape has not properly addressed the allegations and evidence of abuse that took place in New York and New Jersey from 1974-1986. As citizens who believe in justice and accountability, we call on the district attorneys, attorney generals, and law enforcement officials in New York and New Jersey to open a thorough and transparent investigation into these allegations.

Investigating these claims will not only serve justice but also shed light on the systemic failures that allowed such abuse to go unnoticed for so long. By holding those accountable who failed to protect Lyle and Erik during this critical time in their lives, we can help prevent future tragedies from occurring.

In the interest of justice for the Menendez brothers and all victims of unaddressed abuse, we urge you to act now. Stand with us to demand a thorough investigation and ensure the voices of those affected are finally heard. Sign this petition to bring attention to this crucial cause and help create a pathway to justice.
