Janet, I'm so glad Mom is doing better!
Gayle, I was on a jury where the daughter was accusing the dad of sexual abuse and the dad was accusing the daughter of lying. I had worked in the middle school this child went to, years before. I was so glad when one of the witnesses turned out to be a teacher I had worked with. I was excused from the jury and the extra juror took my place. I was sick to my stomach thinking about how I would vote on the jury.
There was no real way to tell who was innocent and who was guilty in this case. I knew the population of kids in that area, and knew the daughter could easily have been lying. When I worked there, a girl ripped her own shirt, and ran out of the library crying, claiming that the library teacher had molested her. He did no such thing, but had to be moved to another school for "safety issues." The girl did it just to be cruel. These kids were horribly brought up!
I am so glad you got off this case! It is terrible to hear these things, true or not.
