Maryland scrambled to gut their Child Victims Act when they found out the state government was liable for billions in damages
In 2023, Maryland Democrats voted to stick it to the Catholic Church by lifting the statute of limitations on suing for child sexual abuse after an investigative report of the Archdiocese of Baltimore showed over 600 children had been abused there since the 1940s.

Much to their chagrin, they had forgotten that there are a lot more evil public servants than evil Catholic priests.
Within days of the original law being cleared by the Maryland Supreme Court, thousands of sexual abuse cases were filed against the state of Maryland's juvenile justice system.
So of course they did what scumbags do:
And in that light, the legislature quickly wrote a new law and voted to limit their liability in the cases. (And I do mean quickly - it went from draft, to committee, to the floor in the state House and Senate, and to the governor's desk in two days — TWO DAYS.)
Democrats are the worst people on earth.
