McMartin Pre-Schooler: 'I Lied'
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Scary, but not surprising.
I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

I can't believe that investigators got away with such blatant manipulation of children. I thought there were laws against things like that.

I have no doubt the kids were coaxed but I wonder at this point which of those kids has an accurate memory of any of it. I'm sure their memories were totally tainted by the events.

On another note, I actually was so upset by the Rascals Daycare incident (just like the McMartin's but back east) that I sent $100 (a lot at the time) to the defense fund of one of the accused. Totally disgusting what those sick prosecutors and interviewers did.
