And congrats to you, as well.  In the end, absolutely nothing mattered other than the Statute of Limitations.  I am Tier 1 with almost all the aggravating factors.  But the administrator was adamant, no matter how much caselaw and settlements I showed, that Missouri was a 10% SoL state.  So, in the end, each of those factors that would have been very important in the calculation hardly mattered, as every one was reduced by 90%.  I am happy for you and others who can move on.  I will remain bitter towards this process as long as I live.  There is no peace and there is no justice for those who were abused in a state where the insurance companies and Chamber of Commerce can come in to the process and block a window from opening.  I no longer live in Missouri and as I watched this process and other local politics play out, moving away was a good step.  Ironically, I moved to a state which is 100% open.

Truly sorry. I hate this for you and all in this situation. Terrible. Unjust. Brutal. I will pray for you, if that is acceptable.

As you might remember from our very early conversations, I was very tempted to not file a claim.  And in the end, the amount I was awarded was not enough to have gone through these 6 years.  In the beginning, I was told by the first administrators (far before the Trust) that this would be subject to Federal SOL so everybody would be equal.  So I jumped in.  Then the Trust swooped in and assigned low factors that left many of us with little.  And it's not just Missouri.  I have heard from folks in many of the more conservative states who were dealt the same hand as I was.  Missouri, btw, was a 10-25% SOL state.  However, the administrator would have none of that.  "10% and you're lucky at that because you would have 0% chance in court".  It is what it is.  Thank you for the kind thoughts.

While it didn't happen in Scouting, I did suffer from my own abuse while in the military after I was drugged. It took me close to 15 years to deal with it, but the therapy far outweighed the money for me. Not to take anything away of course, but the peace of mind was what I was really after.
