And the statute of limitations stuff started making sense.

Like, why was he forced to file before he was ready?

He was 21 when his perp went to prison and he was forced to file by 23 just trying to graduate college.

Like, heal and like, you know, wake up from this nightmare.

And so then the civil litigation process broke him, led him to his first psychotic break.

And, um...

I connected with these other survivors through the Facts About Kanakuk network we were building.

And I started testifying in Jefferson City and started proposing bills that would help these survivors have access to the civil courts past the age of 26.

In Missouri, it's 26.

That law's been unchanged since 1938.

And so I started testifying on statute of limitations reform.

And the House sponsor is from Taney County.

His name's Representative Brian Seitz.

And then our Senate sponsor is Brad Hudson, also represents Branson.

So when I told them what was going on at Kanakuk, they have zero chill about child abuse.

And they were like, we will sponsor this bill.

And then I went and testified in a hearing on it.

brought some survivors as well who testified on this bill.

The House Judiciary Committee was just mind-blown.

Uh, everyone, like, there had heard of Keanukuk or knows of Keanukuk, because if you don't ha- if you don't send your kids to Keanukuk, then you go to K-Life.
