Families, Advocates, and Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse Growing Tired of Inaction
Families, Advocates, and Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse Growing Tired of InactionHARRISBURG, Pa. (ErieNewsNow) – In Pennsylvania, victims of childhood sexual abuse and advocates are still fighting for a retroactive two-year window to file civil lawsuits against their abusers.
This morning families, survivors, lawmakers and advocates demanded action from Senate leadership.
“Senator Corman, Majority Leader Ward, we will never go away,” shouted State Representative Mark Rozzi (D-Berks) toward the Senate.
“Even the Pope himself acknowledged the truth of what was contained in that grand jury report,” said Shapiro. Advocates say aside from bringing overdue justice, the bill would protect today’s children of Pennsylvania by exposing hidden predators and institutions that have enabled predators. “No other state has more information about the workings of child sex abuse cover-ups than the state of Pennsylvania,” said CEO of CHILD USA MARCI HAMILTON. Hamilton says Pennsylvania is falling behind when it comes to its statute of limitations. “They are now becoming one of the worst states in the country, and it’s just because lawmakers are sitting on their hands,” said Hamilton.
