(a) “effectuate[s] a deep and long recognized principle of the common law and of this state: children are to be protected during their minority from the destruction of their rights by the running of the statute of limitations”]; Barker v.

2018(See § 352; Williams , supra , 68 Cal.2d at p. 602 , 68 Cal.Rptr. 297 , 440 P.2d 497 .) Nearly 50 years ago, we observed it was "a deep and long recognized principle of the common law and of this state" that "children are to be protected during their minority from the destruction of their rights by the running *866 of the statute of limitations." ( Williams , at p. 602, 68 Cal.Rptr. 297 , 440 P.2d 497 .)

1993Proc., § 372), special safeguards [i.e., tolling provisions] are required to protect the minor’s right of action.” (Amie v. Superior Court (1979) 99 Cal.App.3d 421, 426 [ 160 Cal.Rptr. 271 ], italics added.) We are persuaded that section 5408’s tolling provision has this historic purpose of protecting minors by putting them on an equal footing with competent adult litigants, and was never intended to give minors substantive rights that are not available to any adult.

1969This principle became a part of California statutory law as long ago as 1863 (Stats. 1863, ch. 250, pp. 325, 326) and has since been applied in actions against governmental entities as well as those against private persons (see for instance Hennessey v. County of San Bernardino (1941) 47 Cal. App.2d 183 ..." (8a) In following these established rules of interpretation, we have concluded that a triable issue of fact exists as to the time of the accrual of Christine's cause of action.
