Two year window for civil action for victims of sex abuse crimes

I am a victim of sex abuse by a family member. I only told about my abuse 3 years ago becuase I was scared, embassed and afraid to tell becuase he was a family member. I was always afraid of breaking my family apart by telling and when I did tell that is what happen. When I reported my abuse I was told it was to late to do anything. My abuser admitted to his criminal act against me and hides behind the laws that are in place. The laws today let my abuser continue to abuse children. This has got to change. My case has nothing to do with a church as many others victims. This crime affect 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys. When is this going to end,how many more children have to continue to be abused becuase we can not speak there names to warn parents. Do we not care about the safety of our children
