I'll never forget the Massachusetts witchhunt -- forget the people's names, but an entire family was jailed for life. I think back in the 80s. Many years later (decade or two), they showed video clips of the children's "interviews." The coaching was so blatant it was shocking that they ever released them, never mind that anybody fell for it. If I remember correctly, the elderly woman died in jail, her daughter managed to get out and her son was still locked up. The coaching probably wrecked the kids too -- at some level they know it didn't happen, that they just played along to get the lady therapist to stfu already and give them candy or whatever. So at some level, they're living with the guilt of having jailed 3 innocent caretakers for life.

Anything involving kids is just lawsuits and false accusations waiting for the right moment.
