Abstract
We appreciate Dr Fay's interest in our report. However, our data do not support his assertion that "incorrect" allegations of sexual abuse when parents dispute child custody or visitation are "exceedingly common." The outcome measure we assessed was not truth but rather substantiation of cases by a child protection agency. Other observers have found higher rates than we did of "fictitious" sexual abuse allegations; but, as we noted in our discussion, bias in their selection of cases limits the generalizability of their findings.
