[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A three year old claim? Is that it? No witness, no corroborating texts like him apologizing or her asking him why he did it? No rape kit or police report? Just some girl coming out of the blue saying Timmy touched me without my permission?

I wouldn't do shit.

If she went to the police or filed a civil suit, I'd hire an attorney with experience pursuing libel and slander and rabidly go after her.[/quote]

But what if he DID do it? You’d still go after the girl? This is why victims rarely report.  You are part of the problem.[/quote]

...then what do we do to help boys/men whose lives are devastated by false accusations. I know the statistics and I agree it's important to believe woman, but that does not mean that we just abandon boys/men who are equally victims. Not only is it not right, it undermines the credibility of all women.[/quote]

It does not ruin lives. That's absurd. Transferring to a new school is not a life ruined. Overdramatic boy daddies, get a life.[/quote]

Do you actually have a child? What if everyone in their middle school/high school thought they were a rapist? Do you live in the DMV? Do you know how social media works? These kids are all connected. Imagine your child gets death threats yelled at them when walking down the street wherever they go in the DMV. Imagine they go to college and somehow someone figures out that it’s “that kid” and now everyone at college thinks your kid is a rapist. Yes. It does ruin lives. Don’t be an asshole.

Pp above says statistics don’t support false accusations. I’m curious. I personally know at least 4 kids this has happened to to one degree or another (one was a girl). I feel like statistics may not have caught up to current reality. Beware.[/quote]

Well, I've been assaulted twice (neither reported). I was drugged once. I've had other close encounters with aggressive boys/men (in addition to the catcalls and outright harassment). In short, your anecdotes are not data. They are not statistics. Just as mine are not. But, the existing stats do show that there are more of me than there are of you. [/quote]

Oh, and to answer your question (though I am not the PP you responded to), I do have a child. And I'm far more worried about her being assaulted than about her making some sort of false allegation.  Or about this non-existent tidal wave of women making false allegations. Because, we know that isn't happening. [/quote]
