I completely agree with the "parent's  name is greatly taken into consideration" comment.  And the sad thing is, it has been my experience as someone who has a family history of sexual child abuse that child molestors can be ANYONE!  and it's often the people you don't suspect, such as the ones with good names.  Child molestors can be very coniving and once they know they are in the clear, nothing will stop them.

After watching the video this week I came up with an entirely different opinion of things.  The child was not scared, but seemed excited until the mom started talking how she didn't want her to go but she had to.  Children want to please their parents.  I think the comment someone made about how the initial questions may not have been handled right and has led to a huge misunderstanding.  I don't know if any parent would know how to correctly question, but you have to try to let the child talk, not ask the child because most of the time they will just answer it with the response you asked them about.  I've seen this before:

 

    The kitty cried.  The kitty died?  Yes.  Who's kitty died.  Mine.  I didn't know you had a kitty.  Yep.  It died.  (real tears)  Mom says you don't have a kitty.  Oh.  So it didn't die.  Ok.  (back to playing, no tears)

 

Now maybe you can understand why it is important to get the truth.
