Background

A national reckoning for private institutions that put children at risk.

Across the country, survivors are coming forward with accounts of sexual abuse suffered as children inside private institutions entrusted with their care — private and boarding schools, churches and religious organizations, youth groups and scouting programs, residential treatment centers, group homes, summer camps, and elite sports academies. The stories share a familiar pattern: adults exploiting positions of trust, colleagues who looked away, and organizations that quietly relocated offenders rather than report them.

A growing number of states have opened lookback and revival windows that allow survivors to file civil claims decades after the sexual abuse occurred. Depending on where the sexual abuse happened, you may still have the right to hold the responsible institution accountable — even if the abuser is no longer alive or the organization has restructured. A confidential case review is the fastest way to know where your case stands.

Your Rights

Why survivors of private-institution sexual abuse can still come forward.

01

State Revival Windows

Many states have opened lookback windows allowing survivors to file claims for childhood sexual abuse — even when the sexual abuse happened decades ago.

02
