    Well, it seems that whole "point on the part of the doll where you were touched" method of interrogating children is more or less controlling and far too leading, as well as potentially damaging.

    Somewhat disturbing?

    Quote:I remember them asking extremely uncomfortable questions about whether Ray touched me and about all the teachers and what they did—and I remember telling them nothing happened to me. I remember them almost giggling and laughing, saying, "Oh, we know these things happened to you. Why don't you just go ahead and tell us? Use these dolls if you're scared."

    Anytime I would give them an answer that they didn't like, they would ask again and encourage me to give them the answer they were looking for. It was really obvious what they wanted. I know the types of language they used on me: things like I was smart, or I could help the other kids who were scared.

    That's alot more than just leading.

    Behold the power of understatements. I agree.

    Yes, because that's the only thing wrong with this.

    How about the quack methods used to interrogate these kids? That's just bad science, well, that suggests it's science at all. It's just bad thinking.
