Kristina Aiad-Toss, Counsel, and Pilar Borneo, Associate Attorney at Singleton Schreiber, explain the legal and policy effects of New Mexico’s proposed Survivor Justice Act. This legislation aims to update civil timelines for childhood sexual abuse claims by extending filing deadlines and opening a window for cases that were previously barred. The bill reflects research showing that trauma disclosure is often delayed. If approved, the reform would give survivors more access to civil remedies and hold institutions responsible for systemic failures. The Act would represent a major move toward survivor-centered justice in New Mexico.
Newly unsealed documents in the national social media litigation reveal a troubling pattern across multiple major platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube. According to the filings, these companies repeatedly received internal warnings that their products were harming young users, yet consistently prioritized growth, engagement, and profit over the safety of children.
