Child-sex abuse victims rights advocate Michael Polenberg, after a decade of disappointment, is optimistic this year.
The executive at the group Safe Horizon thinks there’s a good chance that the long-delayed Child Victims Act to change the state’s statute of limitations in child abuse cases could finally pass.
“I think there is a momentum that none of us have seen before,” said Polenberg, vice president for governmental affairs at Safe Horizon. “These are the most encouraging signs we’ve seen that the folks in Albany are taking this seriously.”
Polenberg’s organization hopes to stir up more support with an online petition now available through its website, safehorizon.org.
