This is going to be damaging absolutely to the child as it will direct the life of the child, it also realy affects the accused and all others directly or not involved in that the adult will loose eny or most of there credibility as there will forever be the dought in the minds of others around them the child though I can see alwys feeling the gilt of the lie as children don't remain children and will learn as we all do that the Easter bunny is not real so will be the same of the lie if it is and if it is probibly not perpetrated by the child just blindly repeted. There are whay to menny negitive spin offs of this type of alligation, and at the risk of add ing to all the wrongs i still feel that those accused faulsly should some how after spending to defend have to try to make yet a nother sedition to go after the accusers of such melishusnes. Maby then there will be a change in the attitude of it is better to convict all acused then let one actual go. If nothing els.
