It was in 2006 when an 11- year-old girl claimed she had been
indecently assaulted by her own teenage brother and his friend as they
played in the park.

A court believed her sorry tale and her elder brother, then aged just
15, was taken from the family home by social services and placed in a
children's home.

Together with his friend, then aged 14, they were both given
nine-month supervision orders and placed on the sex offenders'
register after being found guilty of indecent assault.

Now, three years on, the schoolgirl has been locked up for eighteen
months after admitting the whole episode, which she claimed happened
when she was just nine, had been a pack of lies.

Good grief - that's a family tragedy on a Shakespearean scale.

Hang about! Who gave the boys supervision orders and put them of the
SOR? You think the authorities REALLY did their homework before even
charging the boys?
