Was the daughter truly subjected to ritual abuse by the father as the girl was describing to people at the age of five? If so, why was that not believed?

These events were accurately described, at least as far as the girl was able, with her limited experience in describing adult matters from her naive state of being as a very young child still. This was inspired by the spirit possession of the father reawakening old karmic history of similar activities in other lifetimes, so that was the inspiration for the nature of the molestation that took place. The reason it was not believed was he was a convincing witness expressing incredulity, and because the circumstances and the description were not something within the knowledge or awareness of one so young had to have come from an adult somehow, so that is how this could be turned around and blamed on the mother by the system siding with the father’s story, and the somewhat changing and inconsistent story of the daughter because of her tender years and the inner weaving of fantasy projections this stirred up within her, as well as fear of revealing too much. So she would vary the story in ways that began to protect the father and were a red flag for the state caregivers in thinking this might have entirely been a planted story all along and not a real abuse situation by the father.
