Both those Twitter accounts mention child abuse and standing up against child abuse going back years. I really don't think the fact she tweeted that she wants to be famous a few years ago as a young teen casts doubt on her story. Just because someone has been abused doesn't mean they never smile or never pose like a happy family in photos, or that they never tweet silly frivolous things.

I think those accounts actually make her story seem MORE truthful, because child abuse has clearly been an issue for her for many years, well before Pizzagate. We also want more victims to come forward, and treating people that come forward with suspicion and as though they are liars will discourage other victims. Especially when there is not really any reason to disbelieve her - saying she wanted to be famous one time on Twitter doesn't indicate she's lying nearly as much as her repeated mentions of child abuse from years back indicate that she's telling the truth, IMO.

Yes to this comment. I wanted to be famous too, and maybe it's that connection to a fantasy life that kept her holding on, because I wouldn't be able to endure 14 months in a detention at her age; and I doubt many would. But, it was better than her options.

Also, a lot of abused kids (not even as severely as she was abused) go off into fairytale places to cope, and wish for a fairytale family, or pretend their family was actually good even though they weren't (the last position is known as Stockholm Syndrome.)

I will believe her until she gives me reason not to. Then I'll suggest polygraph tests, doctors examinations etc etc etc.
