Minnesota Child Victims Act Year Two : Healing

The Minneapolis Tribune took time to look at the second anniversary to look at how it is going. The story was interesting for its overview, but there are areas that are worth looking at a little closer.

Survivors have finally gotten a chance to see justice.  Sen. Ron Latz, DFL-St. Louis Park, the chief Senate author of the law described the past two years as “What you’re seeing is a cascading of justice. We already knew there were a lot of cases out there that just hadn’t surfaced yet, because of the statute of limitations in effect. We didn’t appreciate how many cases there were, and how many people would step forward.”

Abuse of children and the continued silence by the offenders needs to be prevented. If you suffered, saw, or suspected such events, it is important to know that there is help out there.
