I've read about a child saying "they killed a giraffe and an elephant in front of us!" but didn't know what case it was in! IMO some "child advocate" (sic) tried to plant an idea in a child's mind about adults killing small animals in front of their victims, then saying "If you tell, we'll kill your parents!" But it backfired, because the child, not being an experienced liar and wanting to please an adult authority figure, embellished it beyond believaility.

I've been reading about Dale Akiki and am appalled at what "Child Advocates, Parents, and San Diego Prosecutor's did to this man, and the kids involved. These "Child advocates and this prosecutor(who btw had started - San Diego's Child Abuse Prevention Foundation) should be prosecuted for child abuse. It wasn't until after constant questioning that these kids said anything happened. Then the stuff they said, no one in their right mind would believe. Apparently the jury was in their right mind and aquitted this man in 2 hours.

Very Sad situation!

There were a few cases, about twenty years ago) in the Philly suburbs (not related to sex, btw) where nursery school pets (rabbits) were viciously killed. Strange. I don't remember that they were solved.
