G4S Plc suspended seven employees at a juvenile correctional facility after allegations were sent to the Ministry of Justice that guards used excessive force and one child was stabbed with a fork.

The staff at the Kent, England-based Medway Secure Training Centre was suspended and an independent investigation opened by police and the child services authority, G4S said in a statement Friday.
