I have memories of lying in a crib at night with a lightning pattern of light on the wall. If the event were sufficiently traumatic to the child, might two years old be old enough to retain it? Maybe a child psychologist would know.

A relative of mine says she could remember something from when she was 18 months old. I suppose it is possible, but not common. I think I can remember my baby brother coming home from hospital when I was 3 1/2 years old, but I am not sure if it is a memory or memory of my mom talking bout it repeatedly.

A two year-old would have expressed some sort of pain if molested at such an age, AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED.

This is nothing more than a false memory implanted by bitter ex-wife and prosecution psychologist who hates men.

If an experience is traumatic enough, a glimpse in time can be remembered by a child as young as two. But everyone has different levels at which something is perceived as traumatic.

To this day I have a memory of standing in my crib crying in distress and nobody coming to help. It felt as if I were in a large closet and I can see the Holly Hobbie wallpaper and I’m looking at the door. Nobody came. My mother confirmed the wallpaper was accurate but said it wasn’t a closet, but a small bedroom right off of theirs. They must have followed the idea of “allowing your baby to cry itself to sleep.”
