The fake abuse compensation cases are starting to come out of the woodwork of the victim-industrial complex. Taxpayers are forking out enormous sums of money for “sexual abuse” that never happened.

But this is much worse than a blatant scam defrauding the taxpayer – it’s causing massive damage. Both to the falsely accused fathers and, worse, their children.

> Compensating a child for sexual abuse that had never actually occurred could do “enormous damage” and is “akin to abuse itself”, says a family law reform lobby group\[…\]  
>  
> In two cases, $10,000 payouts were made to children to “recognise” the trauma of sexual abuse by their fathers, although the alleg­ations were rejected by the Family Court.

There’s no minimising what these payouts are doing – they are saying that these innocent men are child molesters. They are telling children that their own fathers sexually abused them.

**Even though it never happened.**

> One of the fathers, given the Family Court pseudonym Mr Grainger, had launched a legal challenge to his daughter’s payout because he feared the money would reinforce a “false narrative” that she had been abused­ by him as a toddler\[…\]  
>  
> “The poor little guy has been brainwashed into believing that I have sexually abused him,” \[another man\] said.  
>  
> “All this is going to do is reinforce­ in his mind that I have abused him.”  
>  
> Both fathers said they had been harassed online as “pedophiles” because their former partners had used the payments as “proof” of their children’s abuse.

These scam-artist payments also undermine and trivialise the suffering of people who really **have** been abused.

> **For Kids Sake ambassador Karen Clarke** said it was “entirely appropriate” that abuse victims received government support and some needed help for life.  
>  
> But she said it could do “enormous damage” if a young person was given money for a crime or abuse they had not experienced.  
>  
> “Though people may be inclined to think this can do no harm, this is not true: if it reinforces a belief that’s false, it’s akin to abuse itself,” she said.  
>  
> “And if this reinforcement comes from an authority figure or government, it can be particularly damaging.”

But the final word should go to Mr. Grainger:

> “I cannot, and will not, admit to a crime I did not ­commit.”
