Remove the Statute of Limitations on ALL forms of Child Abuse

The Issue

Statute of limitations should not exsist on any form of Child Abuse. Physical, mental or sexual abuse can all be detrimental. When someone is abused as a child it will affect them for the rest of their lives.

With our current laws if the child reaches the age of 18 their abuser can no longer be prosecuted. Research has show that most people do not come forward until 21 years old. 

This allows the predator to not only escape prosecution but to abuse other innocent children. The abuse a child deals with carries on into their adult lives. Many costing them their sanity, their freedom, becoming homeless and even suicide. 

Removing the statute of limitations  restrictions helps to not only bring justice to innocent victims of all ages but helps to bring closure to so many who have suffered.

Please help make a difference for the children past, present and future! Please sign this petition and SHARE!

My interview on Channel 12 News helping to pass the Child Victims Act. How the new law is good but needs to be amended or a new bill passed to completely remove the statute of limitations on all forms of Child Abuse.
