When are words going to stop being evidence enough to ruin someone's life?

Any other crime, and actual physical evidence would be required.

In that situation, the girl should have been removed to protect her from possible abuse, but there was no actual evidence other than words, which turned out to be engineered lies from the young girl's mother.

Words are not evidence, unless there are multiple, impartial witnesses, whose testimony can withstand cross-examination... I'm sick to my stomach of how stupid and easy to manipulate our justice system is.

The article is extremely poorly written but the story comes down to this:

The daughter was 8 years old at the time and her mother basically told her to lie about her being raped. So in a fair world the mother should actually now go to jail for 10 years but we all know that won't happen right?

"I am happy that the truth has finally come out. But also, I forgive my daughter; she was very young at that time..."

I can see wanting to forgive your daughter, I really can. She WAS pretty young at the time. But was she still too young to understand 5 years ago, 2 years ago? last year?

Her mother, the one who coached her to lie, has been dead for 6 years. He can say he forgives her, but that has to be in his head for the rest of his life.

Dube blamed her mother, Shezi's estranged wife, for coaching her to lie.

"She put me up to it. She made me to lie about my father raping me," Dube told The New Age.

Sadly even if she were still alive that woman would spend not a moment of her life in jail.

I posted this to /r/worldnews.

In the future, MRA's should post stuff to relevant subs (news, worldnews, TIL, politics, etc) in order to increase awareness of men's issues. It'd be nice if the rest of society could start reading some of these things.
