That's exactly how memory works. Especially in kids. Its extremely easy to plant false memories into people if you go over it again and again and again. Kids what to please the adults around so they will always report what a (parent) whats to hear. Sooner than later it become the truth.
No, It wasn't real. McMartin was about media-influenced parents who were weak-minded enough to believe the bullshit fed to them by agenda driven writers. The whole process was helped along by incompetent psychologists who came to the process with a guilty verdict already in their head and guided the kids in that direction by implanting false memories.
More harm was done to those kids trying to convince them they were abused than could have ever been done by actual abuse.

That whole McMartin thing was bullshit. The kids were coached on what to say until they believed it themselves.

18+ years of research and professional work. Very extensive. Especially on this and related topics.

If that's really what you believe, why the fuck are you here? Go back to bed, because you're clearly completely asleep.
