The children said whatever Abraham forced them to say. The police had no legal right to examine the accused when the children told them they had lied. Why should any of those expose themselves on someone else's say so? Why do you not ask those people that question and let them answer it for you.

The simplest explanation is not a double one. It is the whole story of what the children said from start to finish. The were in the beginning scared and tortured by Abraham and once out of his 'care' they told how he had used his own methods to make them say those things. They did not want to ever go back to him again. Nor to their own mother while he was still with her. That is the words of the children which again you ignore.

Now be so kind as to answer my question.
