When a child becomes a victim of abuse, it is not only the child's body and mind that are scarred—the conscience of the state is wounded as well. Yet when that same child is forced to spend years climbing courthouse steps in search of justice, repeatedly recounting the traumatic incident or facing the accused in court, the justice system itself, however unintentionally, becomes part of the abuse.

Child abuse cases, therefore, cannot continue to move at the pace of ordinary litigation.
