INFO:

A statute of limitations(SOL) is a law passed by a legislative body to set the maximum time after an event that may initiate legal proceedings. In most cases, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, the SOL begins to run from the date of the occurrence that caused the injury. Child victims frequently do not discover the relationship of their psychological injuries to the abuse until well into adulthood —usually during psychological counseling or therapy. They may not even realize such abuse until they undergo therapy or other counseling services.  The intended audience for this presentation is victims advocates.
