Lesson #2 - Making a False Child Abuse Allegation is a Form of Child Abuse!
A woman that knowingly makes a false sex abuse allegation against a child's father is committing an act of child abuse. Richard Wexler, an authority on false abuse allegations, explained that children are traumatized by the experience of an unnecessary sexual abuse investigation (1990). When an angry mom tells Child Protective Services that daddy molested his little girl, the child is given a physical examination. A doctor examines the little girl's hymen and also checks for vaginal bruising or tearing. Tests are conducted to determine if the child has been infected with a sexually transmitted disease. This process is absolutely emotionally horrifying and sometimes physically painful for the young child. The experience will affect her to some degree for the rest of her life.
Not only does the child have to submit to numerous interrogations and invasive tests to determine if abuse actually occurred, but needless therapy is often prescribed - even when the child denies the story concocted by mom. The child, knowing at first that nothing happened, is subjected to counseling that reinforces the story that abuse has occurred. She is often asked to play with graphic, anatomically correct dolls, simulating "play time" between the child and her daddy for the observer. Between counseling and programming from the devious mother, the child's memory begins to be programmed to accept something that never happened.
With repetitive questioning from social workers and psychologists, many children grow to believe and accept that their fathers molested them. They are confused as to why so many adults seem to think that daddy did something bad, but eventually accept the suggestions as fact. Children are prematurely sexualized by this process, develop deviant sexual interests and begin to engage in sexual intercourse at a young age, sometimes resulting in teenage pregnancy.
The emotional and mental trauma resulting from a child being falsely led to believe that she was sexually assaulted by her own father is severe and carries life-long consequences.
This phenomenon has become so common that psychologists have given names to attendant syndromes that result from false abuse claims, including Parental Alienation Syndrome and Sexual Abuse in Divorce. The loss of self-esteem, the destruction of the father-child relationship, the mental and emotional damage and premature sexualizing of the child are all very real results of a false abuse accusation. No child should be treated so heinously by his own parent or used as a pawn in a legal chess game.
The vast majority of mothers, including divorced moms, are not guilty of this despicable act. But increasing numbers of divorcing women do, indeed, use this tactic against their ex-husbands. Women that knowingly file false allegations of child sexual abuse have committed child abuse and are a danger to their children.

Hello, Good article but may I suggest you include fathers who make false claims of abuse as well. There are many good moms losing custody due to their vindictive ex's. I'm one of them and I know many more. If you would like a list of mothers who suffer from this I would be more than happy to direct you to two very good websites that help parents who have been alienated from their kids. When we take the gender issue out we will be more credible in our fight for justice.
Any abuse false abuse allegation by a parent against the other parent is a form of child abuse. The weapon of choice among vindictive men is usually to accuse the mother of physical abuse against the child, whereas the common tool of angry moms is the sexual abuse allegation.
I intend to write about other types of allegations in the near future, but the purpose of this series is the specific issue of false sexual abuse allegations. I believe you when you say that women suffer from false allegations as well. However, for this series of articles I don't wish to water down the gravity of a man facing a child SEXUAL abuse charge by talking in general terms about false allegations of other types of abuse.
From having gone through the horror of a false sex abuse allegation, I can write from experience and share with other men facts and support that I had trouble finding. I am writing this particular series with innocent men in mind - men that need information on the specific threat facing them, their liberty and the future of their relationship with their children.
I'm very sorry that you were impacted by a false allegation. I am interested in receiving the links you mentioned.
JAKE THERE IS A WEBSITE THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN WWW.SPLITNTWO.COM THE LADY WHO RUNS THE SITE IS A FRIEND OF MINE AND SHE ALSO IS AN ALIENATED MOTHER. TONIGHT THEY ARE HAVING A TALKSHOE LIVE AT 9EST WITH DR SOMMERS WHO IS VERY INVOLVED WITH PARENTAL ALIENATION. YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ON THE SPLITNTWO SITE. I THINK YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO TWANYA MADDOX WHO RUNS THE SITE. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING FOR THIS CAUSE.
I THANK YOU FOR BRINING AWARENESS OFF PARENTAL ALIENATION. IM A MOM WHO HAS NOT SEEN MY SONS SINCE 1993 OF SEPT. DUE TO MY EX. AND HIS GIRLFRIEND MOVING MY CHILDREN OUT TO IDAHO AND BRAINWASHING THEM AGAINST ME. I LIVE IN NJ AND THEY ARE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS IS SUCH CHILD ABUSE AND IT IS BEING DONE BY FATHERS AS WELL AS MOTHERS. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.
Jake it is heartbreaking when I hear the stories from the men in the support group I attend for alienated parents. It is a hideous form of child abuse. I do think that if the men want support and want to be taken seriously they need to take the gender issue out of this. I as well as many other moms are suffering just as much as the men. To be accused of abusing your child is probably the worst thing that any parent has ever had to go through. I thank God everday that I can still get out of bed in the morning and live somewhat of a normal life. But as you know the pain never leaves you and there is a hole in our souls. The sites are [link edited for length] and pasparents@yahoogroups .com
I think anyone who uses their child as a pawn and subjects them to such a nightmare should go to jail! Same for their lawyers! I'm sick of this garbage, our children are not weapons, but human beings and it's our duty to protect and nurture them. Thank you for writing about this.
