A Possible Solution

Indeed, this film made me upset and mad like so many here. HOWEVER, we also know that children are abused, and often do cover up for their parents for so many reasons (fear, they love them, etc). With that said, however, it PISSED ME OFF, how the social workers, detectives and prosecuters told the children that if they tell the "truth," it will all be over. They truly believed that if they said what they were told to say, they'd get to go home.

However, to have social workers and doctors who are affiliated only with the prosecuter's office seems naive. They need to appoint independent shrinks, or whomever, to conduct the interviews as well. Those who won't try and trick the children (not that I believe all law enforement does - but it seems like certain DAs, like the one it this case, just wanted a conviction to show the city he was "hard on crime"). And there attitude is: "Damn any naysayers or negative consequences - even if it means destroying families' lives."

It was the perfect time for that DA who masterminded this witch hunt. He was just elected when this whole mess started. They picked the most corruptive guy to be a DA and yet he was the DA until he retired in 2009. He was as evil as they come and had no remorse knowing it was a total improper investigation and ruined so many families lives.

The DA, the social workers and the police involved should have been fired and sent to prison many years ago. What they did was beyond evil and unforgivable. How they can sleep at night, I will never know.

I recently spoke to one of the family members who were victims of this witch hunt weeks ago who is still alive today. He said he, his wife and children are doing ok and living life. And the memories still haunts them after many years. It's something you cannot erase and forget. His response was, they will get karma and justice done to them whether it's here on earth or the afterlife.
