There is no way little kids could dream that up.

actually you are wrong. An interviewer can "induce" false memory into children. Don't you remember the "Satan" craze of the 1980s and especially the McMartin preschool case? Those "memories" were induced into the kids who were trying to please the interviewer.

That is why, when I had to examine young girls for sexual abuse, I had to be very discrete and not try to interview them about what had happened, since if I suggested something had happened, there was the danger that in a later interview the child would "remember" what I had suggested as a real event.

False memory syndrome..

It is also a danger to adoptive parents of older children, where the child accuses the "new" parent of abuse that actually happened in an earlier situation.

Have you ever considered that at least a portion of the “fake memory syndrome” was designed intentionally to be used to protect the guilty? I myself have no idea, but my senses are piqued based on how deep this rabbit hole is. Food for thought.

I don’t necessarily accept the discounting of the Satan craze of the 80s. It seemed to come out of nowhere, then it went away, but with what we know now about the network of evil parents, I think it may have been a preview into what is going to come out now.
