The reaction people have towards child sexual abuse causes more damage than the actual abuse itself

I was the victim of something like this and it caused a pretty big rift in my family.
But what can you do? You either have to trust the kid who maybe had something traumatic happen to them, or somebody who may have sought to harm your child.
I wouldn't fault any parent for siding with the former, even though it was to my own detriment.
Having things be this way just ensures that when things do happen, the real child predators get what they deserve.
It's just an unfortunate side effect of how the justice system works that innocents can be taken down in the proceedings.
