Abstract

Reinforcing taboos have kept the topic of child sex abuse in institutions from public discussion in the United States until recently. Those walls are now crumbling, and we are entering an era of better public information and discourse, which, in turn, is fueling a movement for the improvement of the legal system's protection of children. In this Article, I will examine the taboos and the impact of their fall, and then chart the legal reforms that are flowing from their downfall.
