New York’s two-year “look-back window” closes this week. It allows people who claim they were abused long ago to sue churches, hospitals, camps, scout groups and schools. The lawsuits could financially hurt Catholic dioceses and other organizations.

churches, hospitals, schools, camps, scout groups and other institutions and people they hold responsible for enabling pedophiles or turning a blind eye to wrongdoing.

And survivors of abuse have been given an outlet for their trauma and a chance at accountability once thought long lost.“This has, ironically, been a very healing experience for me on a personal level,” said Carol DuPre, 74, who sued the Roman Catholic diocese in Rochester, saying she was molested by a priest as a teen in the early 1960s as she counted offerings and typed up bulletins after church services.

Barring another extension, electronic filings will be accepted until midnight Saturday, according to a state courts spokesperson. And some will not have gained the strength to come forward before the window closes, said attorney Mitchell Garabedian.

It should never have been allowed to happen, these victims will be scarred for life unless healed by the power of Jesus Christ.

The legacy of predominantly white priests. Smfh.

the catholics here just declared bankruptcy and left them all fucked. now it’s selling all “their property” aka historical buildings they appropriated in the 1900s. but it’s all cool they don’t pay taxes.

9,000?!? That’s a lot of crumbled cookies. I hope that institution goes bankrupt.

“The lawsuits could financially hurt Catholic dioceses and other organizations” Good. That’s the absolute least they should do.

Statute of limitations on sexual assault is just perverse.

Disgusting organization

Every major church is in huge trouble. Every. Single. One.

how about the trauma the individuals suffered?

The Taliban is a subversive institution set up by the U.S., Saudi and Zionist intelligence services. And now America is trying to intimidate the neighboring countries of the Taliban again, it is the ones who gave them orders to move and expand and target the flag

'consequences for past abuse could be financially harmful for abusers' is a *weird* framing for the byline

good
