I had a 3 yo dcb tell dcm once that all I fed him was bread and water. Then a current dcg would come in with a new scratch or something and I'd ask her how she got her boo-boo. Her answer was daddy did it or grandma did it, which dcm and I knew was NOT true. Kids make up stories. I wouldn't put much stock into what dcg is saying and just lightly approach it with dcm saying little ones tell stories all the time, it's when they get older that you have to be more mindful.
I also had a 6 yo dcb tell me 1 of my SA touched him inappropriately which we found out to be a lie. He was talked to by both me and dcm as to how serious that was of an accusation. I added that report to his folder.
So yeh, there is a definite difference. Dcps who will believe everything a 2 yo says need to take a course on child development.
