Moses Farrow says his sister Dylan's sex abuse allegations against Woody Allen are made up. He tells People Magazine that his mother Mia Farrow poisoned her children against Allen during a custody battle in the 90's. Anderson discussed the new development with People Magazine's assistant managing editor Kate Coyne.

Speaking as a parent whose 15 1/2 year old daughter's mind was 'poisoned' by her mother, a woman who 'trapped' me after a short few weeks of 'dating' in 1997 (the year my mother died), this is tough matter to weigh in on. I've also been a consultant to Childhelp USA, the child abuse reporting line. Would Woody do such a thing? How crazy would that be?
Mia's no saint. She married much older men when she was very young, a few times. God bless people who adopt children who need homes, but she had more kids than she could keep track of. Just because you have the money to do it doesn't mean you have to time to be devote to it 100%. She carried a lot of baggage and has unfortunately dumped it on some of her kids. Some, like Moses, refuses to carry it.
Hmm. Let me get this straight. A parent in a custody battle pitted the kids against the other parent.
That's never happened before.

Personally I never believe anything a child says against someone else unless I have strong corroboration. Children lie all the time because their parents lie to them all the time.
