One in five children are sexually abused. One child is too many and last year we came so close to passing this legislation to protect New York’s children. 43,000 kids will be sexually abused in New York State in 2018, and this will continue each and every year until we take action to protect children from the hidden predators in our communities. The Child Victims Act protects today’s children by allowing yesterday’s victims to identify their abuser in court. Abusers often continue to abuse into their 80’s, sometimes abusing as many as 300 children. One child is too many. Forty three thousand every year is ridiculous. This bill is supported by everyone except entrenched interests who protect known sexual predators like the Roman Catholic Church, Agudath Israel of America, Boyscouts of America and other organizations. Organizations with deep pockets and powerful political leverage. Passing legislation to protect children costs money. Chip in just $3 and you will make a huge difference.
