That makes good sense : Extend Statute Of Limitations For Victims Of Sexual Abuse
Description: Can we have these statute of limitations (only because the church hides behind them and uses then to further abuse victims) rem
On Monday, the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops distributed a list of ways to keep children safe during April, Child Abuse Prevention Month. Admonitions included "sexual molestation is about the victim" and "common sense is not all that common."
Kudos to the conference for being proactive. The Roman Catholic Church is in the middle of an international child abuse scandal involving clergy members preying on the most vulnerable of their flock, coupled with criticism about church hierarchy's action or inaction concerning the abuse.
We are all too familiar with that here in Connecticut, home to what has to be the largest case of child abuse in legal history. The victims of George Reardon, a
St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center endocrinologist, number in the hundreds, and that is why we need House Bill 5473, which effectively removes the statute of limitations on seeking redress after the sexual abuse, assault or exploitation of a minor.
The hospital and the Archdiocese of Hartford oppose the bill, which also sets strict rules for people who want to file a lawsuit. While they lobby, people like Ed Karpuska are denied their day in court. At 53, Karpuska, of
Tolland, talks about a life of missed opportunities after that first day with Reardon.
Can we have these statute of limitations (only because the church hides behind them and uses then to further abuse victims) removed from all countries where child sexual abuse occurs. The Catholic church would not oppose something that could make children safer - would it? Not our leading light of Christianity - surely not. Must be some other 'hidden' agenda perhaps. Perhaps children are getting more difficult to gain access to. All the more reason for a minimum joining age.
