[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the hell would someone make this up?

How did the police not find enough evidence?

There are all kinds of weird pathologies under the sun, and psychological/family/group dynamics that can take a small thing and turn it into something else entirely. Read about the Washington Hebrew case on here for one example. And 11 year old kids are still really young and suggestible. With the caveat that I do not know this family or child at all, there are various emotional and mental health issues that can make 11 year olds act in unexpected ways.

On the flip side, for a story of how an institution actually abets sexual abuse of children by not believing them and inculcating a culture of silence and “positive thoughts only,” look up the LAMB abuse on here.

Not going to say much on the Washington Hebrew case but I am close to one of the victims and they stand by what happened. I am also close to someone on the court side of things who was present at the grand jury hearings. No one has ever been able to prove it didn’t happen- just that they didn’t have enough evidence to convict. [/quote]

Whether or not the abuse happened in that case, there's no question that WH's poor handling of the situation led to a terrible outcome.

If you believe that there was abuse, then WH's mishandling of the situation led to the abuser going free.

If you believe that there wasn't abuse, then WH's mishandling led to a great deal of pain for the families, the accused, and the school.

Either way, I think the message from WH is to involve police immediately, and leave investigations to the professionals.  [/quote]

Which is exactly what GDS did in this situation.[/quote]
