There is a silent epidemic of childhood sexual abuse in the United
States and a legal system that is not effectively protecting
children from predators. Recent coverage of widespread abuse in the
public schools and in churches has brought the once-taboo subject
of childhood sexual abuse to the forefront. The problem extends
well beyond schools and churches, though: the vast majority of
survivors are sexually abused by family or family acquaintances
with 90 percent of abuse never reported to the authorities. Marci
A. Hamilton proposes a comprehensive yet simple solution: eliminate
the arbitrary statutes of limitations for childhood sexual abuse so
that survivors past and present can get into court. In Justice
Denied, Hamilton predicts a coming civil rights movement for
children and explains why it is in the interest of all Americans to
allow victims of childhood sexual abuse this chance to seek justice
when they are ready.
