New York’s legislative session started yesterday, and the State of the State address was given. But the state of millions of children needlessly vulnerable to abuse because New York’s laws protect their abusers wasn’t mentioned. The only way we can change the law and protect children, not the people who sexually abuse them, is by displaying a show of force to Governor Cuomo. Here’s what you can do: -----Share this petition with your social media and email contacts. ----- Contact Governor Cuomo’s office, (https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/governor-contact-form) put “Child Victims Act” into the subject bar, and paste the following message “Governor Cuomo, you have listened to survivors of child sexual abuse. You have supported efforts to reform New York’s statute of limitations for child sexual abuse. But the battle lines are drawn in the Senate, so now is the time to use your political might, bypass the committee process, and make this a budget bill that gets passed by April 1. New York’s children, our very future, are counting on you”. Adding something to the text, a personal story or #MeToo, is a wonderful touch. Thank you for caring about children. PS: Please take another minute and sign the petition below, to help keep family court judges from sending children to live with abusers. We shouldn’t need a law for this, but sadly we do.
