There is no statute of limitations on abuse. It gets harder to prove the longer you wait. If it is physical abuse, it may be "his word against yours" type of case. Sexual is a easier to prove if it is a child - any OBGYN can tell. It really depends on what type of abuse and what evidence you have before you can prove someone guilty of it. * All states have SOL's concerning the time in which someone can be prosecuted for any criminal act, including child abuse, abandonment and/or neglect. In issues such as cited, the law sometimes reads that the SOL begins at the time when the alledged act was discovered. This generally relates to the sexual molestation of a child rather than child abuse and/or neglect. Neverthless, it is the moral duty (in some cases the legal responsiblility also) for anyone who knows of or has legitimate reason to believe a child is being abused to report it to the authorities and be prepared to give testimony in court if it is warranted.

Under US law, a person charged with a crime is considered innocent by the court until such a time that a case has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt against them (that's reasonable doubt, not beyond a shadow of a doubt). The case is currently being presented to a jury (May through July 2011 approximately) and the motive for the child's death may or may not be determined. Why the child died is not the matter being decided at trial, only if Casey Anthony deliberately or accidently, while commiting child abuse, killed her or not. According to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty on July 5, 2011.

Is it against the law to hit your child on the arm and leave a bruise with a belt?
Any hit or slap which leaves a mark or cut on a child could be determined to be child abuse. However, even a well-meaning parent using appropriate punishment with a child COULD accidentally leave a bruise. This is why authorities evaluate each case and the circumstances.That said, a child who is being beaten and abused can report this to the police, any teacher, or counselor. All are mandated to report suspected abuse. A child can also call Child Welfare to report. However, it doesn't mean the agency will decide it is abuse.If you did something wrong, and your parent accidentally left a bruise when he smacked you, is it truly abuse... or are you just angry that an adult can set the rules, even if you don't like those rules.

Munchhausen's is not a very common problem, but if you feel it is present in a family you know, I would suggest calling child services.
