Chandbeti - Just something quick here in re to your question. I think it would be better to err on the side of believeing a child alleging abuse than to dismiss out of hand what they say. Unfortunately this goes on too much ESPECIALLY in the case of a child coming forward with a story of sexual abuse. Children do lie and embellish but only about things they know about. They know about a sibling hitting them because they have been hit.

Guilt depends on proof beyond reasonable doubt. I do not consider the testimony alone of a partially developed mind that can be easily manipulated to constitute beyind reasonable doubt.
