  There are people who are still in prison over the most ahsurb charges leveled in the heat of the 1980s Satanic Panic. Bogues right wing Christian therapists implanted false memories of satanic ritual abuse in children you have parents who are still in prison over the most bogus charges drovenby flase memory implants.

    I have read about cases like that in children, but they didn't really chalk it up to false memory implantation. It seemed mostly to come down to children just wanting to give the answer that the authority figure wants to hear. Or what the child perceives as what they want to hear.

      That still sounds like false memory implanting. They're asking detailed questions and the child knows they want them to agree, so they say yes and start believing what the question said happened. I will say that the questioner wasn't necessarily trying to get this to happen, but they still would have implanted a memory.
