Children have a way of telling us

what we want to hear

they are easily persuaded to say things

that we put in their minds

they hear bits of things and fill in the

spaces with exaggerations

truth is often mixed in with fantasy

things that adults take as fact often

turns out to be inaccurate

small children are not reliable

under pressure

they may know right from wrong but their

brains are not fully developed

in fear of disappointing an adult they

agree to whatever they are told

prosecutors who drill children for

information to convict

risk committing a wrongful conviction

it is a proven fact when children recant

their testimonies years later

after the accused has spent years in prison

cutting their lives short

prosecutors who lust for convictions by

manipulating testimonies of

small children

deserve to serve the same sentence IN PRISON

that they inflicted on a wrongly convicted

victim by pressuring children to testify
