[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people are freaking out about lawyering up when the DD was the victim, not the accused.  Why would she need to worry about talking to the police?[/quote]

Because might = / = victim.

I side with the poster who said either you remember or you don't. Our legal system in theory operates on the principle of innocent until proven guilty. And in today's world this is a very serious allegation that the mob often forgets the basic premise of innocent until proven guilty. And repressed memories are little more than crackpot science. [b]I remember my childhood extremely well that instances of uncomfortable incidents are not forgotten. [/b]

I also know enough that I never, under any circumstances, ever allow myself to be alone with other people's children because I'm not setting myself up for any future false accusations over misunderstandings or accidents. [/quote]

No, you remember stories that you have told yourself repeatedly about your childhood.  Research has shown over and over and over that this is how human memory works.  Everyone "remembers" stuff that didn't happen and doesn't remember things that did happen.

Also, many people who have experienced traumatic events or experienced a variety of mental illnesses (e.g. PTSD) don't have memories of key events.  I suffered some abuse as a little kid, and this is definitely the case for me.

Many of the "research" supporting repressed memories have been thoroughly debunked. So much "repressed" memories turned out to be false or so seriously compromised. You are choosing what you want to believe in rather than being pragmatic about it. [/quote]
