They have experts that by talking to the children can tell the difference between what they've been told and what is true. My uncle went through something similar and though I know it's painful.....the truth comes out in the end.

The judge believed him, as he should have done and he and his daughter, who's 24 now have a fantastic relationship.

Try not too worry too much.

ummmm is right - there will be procedures in place for this type of thing.

People 'attack' in this way due to feeling threatened in some way - maybe your ex wife is afraid that you will take the children from her or perhaps she is not happy that you and her split up for whatever reason. Sometimes feeling defenceless can make people act in a way other 'rational' people would find disgraceful. The children are quite young and can perhaps be manipulted by their mum, but professionally trained people WILL have the ability to tell the difference between a genuine experience and one told them.

If your estranged wife is accusing you of this and has gone to the police about it then it could get worse before it gets better, but has she just TOLD you she us going to the police? They will make some investigations and they have to take it seriously, but i would suggest that their mother will be looked at closly aswell , and so will any man she is in a relationship with, and so she could open a can of worms that harms so many people that your daughters will be confused.

has she approached the authorities? The police will not charge you unless the CPS is happy that the evidence is worth taking to court. If the child services feel the girls should be put into foster care because the mother is perhaps also a danger to them, then they will, has she really thought this through?
