There are definitely indications the whole family was involved. For one, the 11 year old either has an IQ of 180, or she was heavily coached to state what she said. No 11 year old would be able to state without several rehearsals such fine details about the case and without contradicting herself.

Re: The Girl Who Cried Wolf
Lets do the right thing here.. Our PM ,Justin believed this lie and was was quick to jump on the politically correct band bandwagon and call a Canadian man a "Coward" for this non attack on this liar ..,There are many hate crime hoaxes ,, this is similar to a one in Louisiana ... Apparently there is a law against these hoaxes.. Now that it has been determined that a REAL crime has been committed, that of PUBLIC MISCHIEF under Sect. 140(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada, Toronto Police should continue to investigate this case and press criminal charges against those responsible. After all, a crime is a crime is a crime, regardless of the sex, age, or ethnicity of the "suspect(s)."

You are speculating and, again, you have no way of knowing whether the "whole family" was involved, coaching or not.Glacier wrote:There are definitely indications the whole family was involved.

It has already been determined there will be no further investigation and no charges will be forthcoming. Age is a factor.
“She’s only 11, it’s not like she can be charged with criminal mischief,” a police staff sergeant said at the time.

Victoria Talwar, an expert on children's social-cognitive development at McGill University, said it's common for children to lie but those are more often "little fibs" than big lies with serious consequences.
Though she said she could not comment on this case, Talwar said children tend to lie for the same reasons as adults: to avoid negative consequences, for personal gain or to appear more likeable, among others. And sometimes those lies backfire, she said.

Re: The Girl Who Cried Wolf
This morning on the Current, a CBC national radio program, the host was interviewing a female spokesperson from the muslim community who had been only too happy about all the publicity received (all negative for non-muslim Canadians) across the globe.
That is, until the truth was revealed and the backlash of people on public forums, letters to editor, call in shows, etc. suddenly brought dismay, revulsion and a fervent wish by the interviewee that the media tap could now be turned off, soon! What was being said is not what she wanted to hear.
It seems she was caught entirely off guard by the outrage exhibited.
There was not one word of apology that crossed her lips about the stain on Canada's worldwide reputation, the uproar this incident caused, nor even a nod to the muslim community who were also upset about this nonsense.
This program can be heard on podcast.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

I have a comment. What a complete load of crap. We owe her an apology for not remembering she is a child? Who said I forgot? Speak for yourself Danielle, you imbecile. I don't owe this kid an apology and neither does anyone else. Hard to believe someone actually gets paid to dream up this drivel. We are so doomed.

We don't know what happens behind closed doors and this family wouldn't open theirs for the follow up.

Re: The Girl Who Cried Wolf
I'm not sure we owe her anything. At age eleven most all of us knew the difference between the truth and a outright lie. We were taught telling lies was not acceptable. Maybe in the culture she came from it is perfectly OK to call wolf. Maybe her mother should apologize to all that she failed in her parenting. Nothing held back here, that young girl is very intelligent by what I viewed and we owe them nothing!
If anything send them back to the country the came from , I'm tired of this BS. We the 99 percent must change, so they feel welcome, P-OFF.

Really? Send someone back that's been here for 25 years? Because her daughter lied? And the public does not know why.

Might want to reword it to make sense. An 11 year old girl told a tall tale for reasons unknown. Amazing how so many want to tar and feather the whole family without knowing all the details.

I liked Thomas Martin's comment: "I say leave this young person alone. Surely she has enough on her plate learning subservience and modesty and trying to remember all the items of clothing that she (but not her brothers) must wear."
