Summary
In New York, pursuing legal action for a past cyberstalking case can be complex due to the statute of limitations, typically three years for negligence claims. Mental impairment, such as schizophrenia, might extend this period if it affected your ability to manage legal affairs. Continuous harm from ongoing incidents may also impact the limitations period. Reporting police misconduct to the New York Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) or filing a complaint with the Attorney Generals Office are potential steps to hold authorities accountable. Legal aid services can provide guidance and support in navigating these challenges.Full Conversation
"Seven years ago, I had a cyberstalker, but I was also diagnosed with schizophrenia at the time, so no one believed me. When I went to the police, they took me to the hospital instead of investigating. The second time I went to the police, they took me to the hospital again, but the doctor told me he didn’t think I was having a psychotic episode and that I was telling the truth. Despite this, the police never investigated my case.
Now, seven years later, I'm in college and using a loaner laptop from the school. In college, we use a website called Brightspace to receive and submit assignments. I noticed one of my assignments didn’t look right, so I contacted my school's IT department to confirm if it was legitimate, and they confirmed it wasn’t a real assignment. Additionally, college students get free access to Microsoft *, but although my laptop claims to have Microsoft *, three people have confirmed that it’s not actually Microsoft *.
I also tried to contact several support services, including the National Crime Victim Bar Association, the Crime Victims Assistance Line, and the Internet Crime Complaint Center, but my phone hung up or led me to fake numbers. I even tried a cybercrime support number from the internet, but it was fake too.
What can I do now? The police never investigated my original case. Can I sue them for this?"

Hi Kiomara,
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Regarding your question, suing the police for not investigating an incident that happened seven years ago can be challenging due to statutes of limitations and proving negligence. Here are some general points:
- **Statute of Limitations**: In New York, the statute of limitations for negligence claims is generally three years.
- **Evidence**: Strong evidence is crucial. Lack of evidence from seven years ago might weaken your case.
- **Legal Advice**: Consulting a lawyer is essential. They can provide specific guidance based on the details of your situation.

Hi Kiomara,
I understand your concern. In New York, failing to investigate a reported crime can potentially be seen as negligence or misconduct by the police. However, proving this and overcoming the statute of limitations can be complex.
**Key Points:**
- **Statute of Limitations**: Generally three years for negligence in New York.
- **Evidence**: A doctor's statement may support your claim, but more evidence is needed.
- **Misconduct**: Police misconduct can be reported to oversight agencies.

Hi Kiomara,
You might be able to challenge the statute of limitations based on the following reasons:
- **Mental Impairment**: If you were mentally impaired and unable to manage your legal affairs, this might extend the statute of limitations.
- **Continuous Harm**: If the cyberstalking or related issues have been ongoing, the statute of limitations may restart with each new incident.

- **Legal Aid Society of New York**: They provide free legal services.
