Definición

  • In the early 1990s, courts across the United States saw an increase in the filing of civil and criminal cases by adults who alleged abuse, typically sexual, that had occurred when they were children. Likely the result of increased public attention to child abuse, new legislation that extended statutes of limitation in such cases, and improvements in mandatory reporting laws, victims alleged that they could not have filed their claims sooner because either they did not recall the abuse until adulthood or did not appreciate the causal relationship between long since ceased abuse and currently presenting injuries.
