People ask why I love cats and dogs. It's simple - people are weird. If this situation is a fabrication or part-fabrication then the 'mother' should be ashamed of herself.

With accusations of sexual crimes comes the chance that some innocent guy will be tainted for the rest of his life. The Sun at its best?

I hope that the truth comes out soon.

Has the young person been "got at " ? He was apparently contacted by the BBC person a day or two ago saying "what have you done ".
Sorry no link for that.

he may well feel he's been got at by his mother

[Old_Geezer]

Family split/disagreement perhaps. Or maybe there's simply been more benefit in dousing the flames.

That is what I understood when the BBC said they tried to follow up the initial complaint in May but the family did not respond.

Some people will be experiencing the same deflation I felt the other week when Prigozhin decided to kiss and make up with Putler :-)

[Barsel]

If this turns out to be a pack of lies, will the Mother of the lad in question be charged with anything?

[douglas9401]

Genuine mistake, mental health, lessons learned, no malice, draw a line, move on.

Burn the witch.

I don't know if "wasting the time of the editor of the Sun" is an offence in the lawbooks.

[Barsel]

What about wasting police time?

[jourdain2]

Well, considering the state of the world today, Putin, The Ukraine, the Dutch P.M. resigning, resurgence of R-wing parties in the EU etc., etc. I am amazed that this even made the main news rather than headlining it! More BBC navel-gazing.

I don't know what is going on. Family spat blown large probably. It will doubtless come out in the wash and people will say vaguely 'Yes, I remember something about that'.

[ichkeria]

I agree jourdain: I was a little surprised the BBC for a time had a headline story on its website highlighting the need to avoid speculation while at the same time inevitably fuelling it.
The thing is the BBC is bound to be very sensitive to allegations of a cover-up, given past history.

"Rubbish". (Reminds me of Eric Morecambe.) Doesn't sound a very professional term for a lawyer to use.

[jno]

ichkeria, the story was on the front page of every paper in town over the weekend, even the FT. Ignoring it was never an option for the BBC.

[douglas9401]

Crack fiends lawyers may inhabit the Saul Goodman end of the spectrum.
