“These people want to destroy the family, just as Communism wanted to destroy private property.

“Are we making up for centuries of denial by now blindly accepting any allegation of child abuse no matter how absurd or unlikely?”

What all these experts seemed to overlook was that the children’s stories could have been contaminated in some way. Someone could have planted a seed in their memories. It then blossomed and grew over time until it devoured their real experiences, substituting them with something that was partially or completely artificial. This phenomenon has been studied for a long time in the rest of the world, but it remains underestimated, especially among psychologists who aren’t familiar with the research on the mnemonic functions of the brain.
