holding that in breach of contract action brought by mother and minor child against private school, statute of limitations did not begin on mother's claim until she learned of her child’s sexual abuse by a teacher and was thereby put on notice of her right of action, and that statute did not begin to run against minor child until the mother knew or reasonably should have known of facts which supported the child's cause of action

- holding that minor’s negligence claim does not accrue until an adult capable of bringing the action knows of the invasion of the minor’s legal rights
