There is no statue of limitations for child abuse. 18 USC 3283 states:

"No statute of limitations that would otherwise preclude

prosecution for an offense involving the sexual or physical abuse,

or kidnaping, of a child under the age of 18 years shall preclude

such prosecution during the life of the child."

Life of the child indicates whole life also, just not childhood life
