In the 1980’s, liberals went on a tear: “Children don’t lie.”

That was used by the finger-pointers to arrest and damage some people, some teachers.

Eventually, somebody pointed out that SOME children do lie, and SOME “mental experts” are experts at planting screwball ideas in kids’ minds.

Yes, that famous, infamous Mass. case. A writer from the WSJ won an award for covering it. Name escapes me know.

According to my mother; god rest her soul, children lie as easily as they breathe. It’s part of being a child.

I lied like a mother-f@#$er when I was a child. I just thought that was what I had really wanted to happen, and insisted that it did.
