Many states across the country are now considering revising their statute of limitations regarding the sexual abuse of minors. The terrible scandal in the Catholic Church has given rise to more victims coming forward and revealing their tragic abuse stories. There is a growing recognition that this type of trauma runs very deep and the road to recovery takes great courage as well as many years of therapy. It is very often the case that a minor victim of sexual abuse is not able to come forward until that minor becomes a full grown adult. Unfortunately, many of those adult victims have lead and continue to lead lives that bear the scars of that trauma. In NY state, the Court of Appeals will hear arguments this week to overturn the statute of limitations in abuse cases and allow these victims to proceed in their quest for justice. Let’s hope the court does the right thing and allows the victims to heal.
