Link – The #1 Reason Children Recant Abuse Allegations
“In approximately 23% of child abuse cases, children recant (take-back) allegations of abuse. Research has been conducted to better understand why children do this: the #1 reason children recant abuse allegations is their primary, non-offending caregiver (which in the vast majority of cases is the mother) DOES NOT believe them.”
Makes sense to me, as a child if I go out on a limb by disclosing what is happening and there is the slightest indication that doing so will lead not to it stopping, but to further problems, I’m going to take it back pretty fast. Disclosing to one parent, and getting an indication that they don’t support me isn’t going to make me want to go forward.

This disgusts me. These non offending parents that can actually look at their child and tell them they do not believe them astounds me, They should be arrested for neglect and failure to protect. Shame on them,
Thanks for taking a strong stand, Carrie. My parents committed incest with both me and my older sister, and sold us into a dangerous porn ring. To this day, they refuse to acknowledge any wrong doing, and make sure to smear us both to all the other relatives. I decided eight years to write my story and publish it, so that I would finally have the voice they denied me for decades. People often recant because they are shunned when they do tell about abuse, and out of weakness and desperate need they go back, sad to say.
