“There’s nothing we can do.” That’s the answer most survivors get when they report their abuse to the police. Once a survivor reaches the age of 23 their rapist or molester is protected by law. There really is nothing the police can do. The law protects the predator not the child. Statute of limitation reform changes that.

Organizations like the Roman Catholic Church conspire to protect predator priests. Roosevelt Hospital admitted knowing about a doctor abusing masses of his child patients. The hospital knew for years but did not act. These organizations and many others like them are protected from liability. Statute of limitation reform changes that too.

Sex Offender Registries are more helpful if sex offenders are on them. Did you know that most are not? When sex offenders are protected not prosecuted they never make it as far as court. They are free to keep abusing children, and good parents, schools and hospitals, and others are lulled into a false sense of security.

There are many abused children who are now barred from the courtroom. Whose abusers are already protected by law. These predators also belong on the sex offender registries. They too need to be held accountable. And the children they abused deserve justice. And that’s the reform that is needed.
