Bad example and makes the point I was saying. This boy {at that pre-school} Denied an assault took place. Kids that age eat weird things, get pin worms etc. That is a sharp contrast from a kid telling a parent they were molested.
In the thread article we have a 14 year old girl who said it happened twice once at an earlier age by the same person. I wasn't making the point kids could not be brainwashed into lying by professionals {that can happen} but I doubt before her mom killed the man she had ever seen one. But most any parent knows their child well enough that if the child told them they had been molested or raped they could within a few minutes get the truth of the matter. The truth is usually in the first statement a kid makes about the attack to someone and in the description of the event. In the case you pointed out the kid denied being abused from the beginning.
This is what parents tell themselves, but parents are really the last to know when their child is lying about something. It's understandable since parents, especially mothers, have a strong instinct to protect their children. Children use this to manipulate parents - it's nothing new.
As I posted earlier, one study showed that 41% of alleged rapes ended up being fabricated. Parents aren't the ones that figure it out - they're busy being protective as that instinct kicks in.
