They deal with a lot of unwell people and have to make snap judgements about what is worth giving credence to and what is a mistaken understanding.
That said, a snap judgement to not do a real investigation because the claims seemed too preposterous to be true still means a real investigation wasn't done. If that turns out to be the case, the argument that "the police investigated and didn't find anything" is null.
The most interesting question in all this is what happened if the Miles were actually engaging in group abuse of the children (including making them drink "a concoction of urine and feces"). Do you believe they stopped after the Carstensen children revealed the abuse? Or have they continued abusing kids to this day?
Cinepro. Last night I listened to Tara Workman Tulley who works in the field.

I think she offers some good explanations based on more recent research, on how children store traumatic memories, and how fantastical elements may find their way into childrens memories.
