how long can you sue after abuse transpires?
« on: March 04, 2008, 06:47:24 PM »
Are there any extenuating circumstances that extend this time period?

Depends on the Statute of limitations on what you are going to sue for in what state.  The short answer is: yes...

Unfortunately, its not an easy thing to do.  I wish it were.  I had no idea the extent of what was done to me until years after and then it was way too late.  It varies from state to state, but on average I believe the statutes run out after about two years or so.  Some incest survivors have been successful in having the clock start running from the time they, "recover their repressed memories" but the entire concept of 'repressed memories' has come under fire so that's iffy too. 

Its unfortunate, because most of us don't really understand nor can we be expected to even begin to fathom the depths to which we've been effected until many years later in many cases, from my experience at least.

NO, 2 years is not enough because we have not experienced comprehensible, traditional abuse, and because we are not kids from normal families.

As a rule, we have parents that don't advocate for us. We are "brainwashed" as opposed to merely abused. The authorities seem or actually do allow us to be "escorted," and ignore our reports of abuse when we make them. How could we possibly know that a crime has even been committed? How at age 20 could we possibly have the funds to sue?

You just admitted that you were not abused according to the law. Fornits definition of abuse does not apply to the real world. You go tell the cops you were brainwashed and they will laugh you out the door.

You're 20. It's time to get over it and become and adult and live your life.

That's part of the problem.  Hell, the cops took kids BACK to Straight KNOWING what the kid would face when he was returned even after the abuses had been substantiated.  Someone from Walking Lawton's office (Gov. at the time Lawton Chiles) called Straight's headquarters when HRS was about to deny them a license, to tell the government employee that Straight would be re-licensed NO MATTER WHAT.

You can't count on regulation or the authorities to protect the kids.

No, dumbass....they didn't say they were 20 now.  They said how could we, at 20, be expected to understand what happened to us inside.


Psy.......is this him again?
