Parent goes to other parent and says, first: Our child is evil because it is seeking ways to get Grandmother's cake.
Later, parent goes to other parent and says: You should be afraid of our child because it is seeking ways to get Grandmother's cake. You had better let me keep you safe and decide what to do. No one else can handle this but me.
Even later, parent goes to other parent and says: We may have to punish our child because it is seeking ways to get Grandmother's cake. In fact, if that child gets the cake, it may kill one of our other children. In fact, we may have to kill our child so it doesn't kill the others. There may be no other alternative.
This theme is repeated several times.
Then, strangely, parent begins to say to other parent: We may have to kill our child because it may be seeking ways to get eggs, flour, sugar and milk, which could conceivably be used to make cake, and when it does so it might kill another of our children.
Other parent eventually learns the child has not been seeking ways to get cake for a long time, and what's worse, the first parent has known that for a while.
