Not All Child Sex Abuse Accusations Are True

[Texasbelle]

I have also witnessed a case where the exhusband who no longer wanted to pay child support accused the new husband who was of much better "means" of sexually abusing the daughter. Thus an attempt to get out of child support and costing the new husband $50,000 to defend himself. The sheriff's office actually arrested the man only to have to drop the charges later. But not before Channel 3 and the Times splashed the story everywhere. They never seem to come back later and print the story about the charges being dropped. Funny how that works out, huh?

I think the one who makes up the story, even if it's a child, should have some consequences.

I think the media should not release any name of anyone until charges are filed or a conviction is handed down. That would make the already lame liberal media even more boring. With the media it is guilty until found innocent.

Amen! They are definitely not interested in the truth. Only what they can sensationalize.

Very true. I'm not sure when journalism turned to sensationalism, but it was this way 25 years ago. Truth takes a back seat to selling a story.

I feel like journalists should be more responsible with their stories. Just as in the cases Isaac and I have pointed out, if a journalists reported these accusations that were then later dropped, found to be false, etc, in my eyes the journalists has a responsibility and obligation to the public to bring back to them the "rest" of the story.

I think the public also needs to know how quick law enforcement will jump many times without proper investigation. On the flip side they don't seem to jump when you really need them too!

Let us not forget the Inquisitor as it prints every face that has been arrested before they go to trial. That should be slander and against the law. Now if found guilty print away but until then not.

The Inquisitor is the only paper I have seen actually come back and print the truth after a person is arrested. Danny Lawler will put into print the "real" story after charges are dropped.
