The child abuse registry in New York State does not require a conviction or even a trial in a court of law. Yet, a indicated finding on a child abuse registry complaint could prohibit someone from adopting, becoming a guardian, teaching in a school or being a Sunday school teacher and could prevent that person from abusing others in the future. I believe that a complaint of past molestation requires, at a minimum, that the police investigate to make sure that current molestation is not happening and send a report to the child abuse registry.

Do you really think that if an 24 year old comes to the police and says my dad molested me when I was a kid, and I'm afraid he may be doing it to my brothers and sisters still in the home, the police are going to say "too bad - go away" you should have come here last year.

If you think it is okay for a police department to not look into an allegation of molestation to make sure nothing is happening now, just because the SOL has expired on the accusation, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree and FWIW DA Fitzpatrick disagrees with you also. Maybe Fitz should move to the USSR with me.

But at least answer me this question. Joe Paterno was fired by the State of Pennsylvania, and has been neither charged, tried or convicted of anything. Do you believe this was a "horrible injustice commited by the state." against Paterno. If no, what point are you trying to make here? If yes, then maybe you really do need to move to State College.
