... of false accusations of child abuse and how easy it is for kids to get the government to haul off one's father (or mother, as the song also portrays).

Fundamentally the issue is this: child molestation is a crime and like other crimes it *should* be proven beyond *reasonable* doubt. The problem is, it is not treated as a crime but instead as a public relations problem for the authorities. Doing justice, insuring the safety and rights of all parties, these are not the premium. It is doing things pleasing to TV news audiences. Just like what happened with the Duke LAX players: Justice was not even an issue. It was about public relations. Not until the lack of justice was publicized (there's that word again!) did some actual scrutiny of the goings-on get done. Those boys had well-to-do parents who were willing to spend millions on their defense and believed their side of the story. Imagine what happens when you lack such resources as money and support from loved ones?
