It was like a Peter Jennings show or some sort of newscast where there were about 10 exF. kids who were talking about how they had been sexually abused in the F. This was before I really discovered the boards. I was just shocked, I felt so sorry for them. I felt they had no voice, just their own weak little voices. Who was listening? Who had a big enough voice that they could be heard? These kids need an advocate and they need it quick. Time is running out. The Statute of Limitations in Pennsylvania is until age 23. In Cal it is one year to be brought to court from when a person first goes to the D.A. It's a very touchy thing. The sad thing is, most of these things happened oversears and are out of jurisdiction for U.S. courts. However, I wonder if a lawsuit could prevail against the F. as a whole because they advocated these crimes through Berg's writings.
