I cannot believe someone could be so cruel. But what really pisses me off is that the authorities didn't realize that is was bullshit from the start. I know he is being gratuitous, giving the authorities the benefit of the doubt, but I don't. How you put two 4 year old children through an hour long interview without their parents and without a lawyer, which is what they needed, to insure they weren't being coerced or emotionally damaged. I hope the find the person that did this and prosecute them to the maximum extent of the law.
