Child abuse can be divided into two separate categories; sexual and physical. If the child abuse is sexual in nature, then the statute of limitations is 50 years after the child turns 18. If it is a physical abuse and it is not 'serious' then the statute of limitations is 2 years. If the physical abuse is 'serious' then it is five years.
