Can charges for child abuse be brought on foster parents after child becomes an adult and remembers the abuse?

In some cases the statute of limitations begins when you remember the abuse. I would try to find a lawyer, but this is pretty hard if you don't have the money. If these people are still foster parents you need to see the Dept. of Human Services or Social Services that is supposed to be supervising them. Personally I believe the most important thing is to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to another child.

Can someone other than her parents press charges if I date a 15 year old and I'm 18?
Dating is not legislated. But the only reason an 18 year old would date someone that is 15 is going to result in illegal activities. The parents aren't the problem. Criminal charges are brought by the government, not the parents. And once the government is aware of it, they will bring up the charges. If there is no sexual intercourse it's not illegal.

If a 15-year-old girl in Georgia is pregnant and her boyfriend is 18-years-old would he get arrested if her parents did not press charges?
He could be brought on criminal charges. Once someone breaks the law, it isn't necessarily the parents that have to decide whether or not to press charges. The prosecutor makes the decision. And parents cannot 'allow' someone to break the law. He could if the wrong person finds out about it like the police. If the parents of the 15 year old don't press charges then maybe he won't get caught. I don't know what the law is in Georgia but it may be possible for him to marry the girl then it will be legal but she would need the parents consent.
