What would you do if your child falsely reported you for abuse?

give them something to report

I have heard about it a lot, and if I was in any of these parents' places, I would not be able to forgive my kid, I would say it directly to them "it hurts me to find that my own child acuses me falsely, only because they want something to do. It's ok, I can have another who can be better than you and they are emotional and they have feelings, unlike my child who enjoys calling me an abuser"

Am glad my daughter is emotional like my relative, and she has same resemblance as of me and him, maybe that is why some people think he is my brother, like my twin or someone older, they don't actually know that maybe we have same resemblance in looks, because our parents know each other or our families are relatives and cousins.

In grade school i knew a girl that did this.
A few times.
They finally had enough and gave her up to the state.

Me though? I could forgive them. I'm pretty laid back like that. But for a time we would have a very strained relationship. Their life would also become very mundane and only as interesting as their imagination since all of my extra money would be going to their therapy and a caregiver to babysit them. wouldn't want me to be alone with them without a third party around.

It happened and cost our family dearly. Took years to forgive him.

It would change their reality, but I'd keep telling myself that they are a product of my upbringing.

Yes, I Would because love doesn't die so easily. Didn't report my parents for abuse, I wrote a letter to the editor once, but few knew who wrote it, and in retrospect they didn't have to publish it, it sure made for a lot of local gossip.

Forgive, yes. But the brat--I mean child--should realize the damage created because of that report. Further, the police department will have that reporting in their records for the rest of the alleged person's life.

the next time they do that...i'll make sure to place CCTVs everywhere [excluding kid's room and bathrooms of course]

I'd like to think I'd be more concerned about what would motivate them to do such a thing

when my eldest daughter had missed behaved and i told her she was going to be spanked. She said if i did she would tell my teacher i had done things to her. I not only gave her a long hard spanking but her mother told her if she lied to people and got me into trouble she would be out of the family and on her own.
