[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is scary that your teen can potentially ruin someone's life. Either she remember or she doesn't. "Might" is a really scary word.[b] I would make my teen write out a statement or tell me what happened before being interviewed by the police. The neighbor might not have even lived there 10 years ago or was never alone with the neighbor. It reminds me if the mcmartin preschool trials[/b]. [/quote]

The parents in those trials grilled their kids and then took them to the police.

Your advice is the WORST THING op could do. She should not ask her dd about any details or ask her to write about it. You need someone trained in this area talking to your kid, not a parent. Parents are the ones who don't know how to question their kid without screwing it up.

Do NOT interrogate your kid, OP!  [/quote]

Nope, it wasn't the parents who interviewed the kids.  The police investigators repeatedly grilled the kids and planted memories. Kids can be be incredibly susceptible to false memories. Being interviewed by the police is not an easy process and can be incredibly stressful. I would want to make sure there was more than just a feeling that a neighbor did something. If there were I would get my child their own lawyer. [/quote]
