I've read of other cases where the alleged perpetrator has been wrongfully convicted due to the interrogator's actions, leading the witnesses, and making "assumptions" with the children and their statements.
Social workers have to earn their wages and sometimes it is based on a report of abuse and how THEY found a way to correct the problem. A social worker who finds no problem too many times is accused of not looking hard enough and slacking off.
There are people who were abused themselves that go into social work and are on a witch hunt.
Then one gets the old Priest that has never married that councils young couples on marriage.
I remember the Mendez trial of the 2 boys that offed their family. Now that was a circus of
what we as the public knew and what the jury were told.
The spectacle of an 18 year old male on the wittiness stand crying that his father was at that time raping him----barf, barf--
The older brother complaining that his dad attended all his tennis matches and after a match massaged his legs to prevent leg cramps -Barf-barf.
Some people do in fact mollest their nearest and dearest, perhaps it is more common then not----however ---- some people get crazy with this if they are looking for a way to get at someone they just don't like.
Next town to me a couple who a small lottery, $200,000. Out of the blue people they had not seen in 10 years sued them saying the husband had molested their child while his wife baby sat for them.
Recovered memory's they called it, the child now 16 awoke one day and --TA-DA remembered what had happend to her at the age of 6.
I go back and forth on this issue, I had friends that were perhaps being molested, who knows, but I remember sleep overs when my friends would tell me not to go to the bathroom alone at night as their brother-father was at home.
As as only child this was most strange to me and when I mentioned it to my Mom she answered that perhaps they were afraid I would fall down the stairs in the dark. Neither of us had any idea that molestation actually happends.
This man who spent 20 years in jail because his lawyer did not demand any physical evidence of trauma to his kids----God help him, and all men out there when accusations are brought up.
