(32,324 posts)In the case I mentioned, the little girl was three and a half. Just old enough to remember almost word for word the atrocities that Mommy had told her to tell the social workers about.
But the little girl was too young to be coached about answers for the "real questions." No little girl who has been a victim of deviant and torturous incest tells a social worker, "You wanna know if I wanna spend this weekend with my Daddy? Well, he's so much fun - I wanna spend my life with him!"
A seven year old can probably be coached to not "slip up" in terms of the answers to questions.
And it is not surprising if many of the members of the Farrow clan "remember" Dylan's version of things. If you have been one of many children adopted, and you know Mommy is angry at Daddy, you certainly don't wanna lose your only support by saying anything other than what Mommy is saying.
Glad to hear that DNA got the innocent man freed from the false memory indictment and imprisonment.
