j&dtogether,

I wish I’d seen your response earlier. Are you still here?

I can only give you a general response here as you gave very little info.

Could you share some more details so that we have a clearer picture of what is going on?

Info such as age of child.

What was done to ‘prove’ right or wrong?

What were the accusations (I assume sexual abuse.)

Does the child still insist something happened?

How did the accused parent respond to the accusations?

Is the accused parent a biological or stepparent?

How does the child feel about having continued contact with the accused parent?

I the child were lying about the abuse, what benefit would the child gain?

My off-the-cuff response is:

At the very least I would insist that the entire family be in very intense counseling for a very long time. Here is a reason a child made such accusations.

Since I believe that a child would seldom make such an accusation if it were false, I would err on the side of caution and protect the child.
