Despite significant consequences, people making false allegations is not unheard of
Talking about her daughter’s lies, the OP toldBored Pandathat she has never done anything like this before. “She hasn’t and I have no idea why she did this,” the redditor said, adding that she now feels even more depressed, as it looks like there is no way she can get her husband back after what happened.
Being accused of wrongdoings you are not responsible for can be infuriating, even if it’s something as seemingly insignificant as eating someone’s lunch. But facing allegations for something that is considered a crime is not only maddening but alarming, because of all that’s at stake.
Unfortunately, the possible consequences don’t stop certain people from making false accusations.Studies suggestthat the prevalence of false allegations stands somewhere between 2% and 10%. To make matters worse, a differentstudythat delved deeper into the motives behind filing false allegations found that some people can’t even answer why they made them.
According to the latter study, the main motivating force behind people making false allegations was emotional gain, but some of them reported having more than one motive; roughly a fifth admitted that they didn’t even know why they made such accusations themselves. The survey also found that the majority of people’sfalse accusationswere used to cover up other behavior, such as adultery or skipping school.

Being wrongfully accused of something can have a detrimental effect on a person’s well-being, as well as their relationships and career
In addition, the aforementioned study emphasized that the public tends to perceive those who were wrongly accused negatively, even after they are exonerated. “Research suggests public perceptions of exonerees tend to be negative and not dissimilar to perceptions of actual offenders, despite knowing they had been exonerated,” the research read in part. “This may be because the public is concerned that the exoneration process itself was flawed, and they prefer to believe the veracity of the original conviction, despite the outcome of the legal review process.”
Even though the OP’s daughter eventually came clean, telling her family members all about the situation and trying to clear her stepdad’s name, he didn’t think there was a way to repair the damage that was already done. Roughly a week after sharing her story with the online community, the woman provided an update, saying that her husband had asked for a divorce, which also meant that the mother and daughter had to leave their home, as it had originally belonged to the OP’s husband.
