A Child's View When a Parent Is Accused of a Crime

They say children are the purest form of truth,
uncoerced, they express their feelings from the root,
A child may not always declare a parent's innocence,
unless it makes logical sense,
If privilidged, a child will look at the parent's modus
operandi, status, dignity and pedigree,
Then declare, "Those accusations are foreign to me!"
If a child hails from humble beginnings they will look at
the variables of all things, but go to the heart of human nature,
There, he/she will get a reliable answer,
because people don't usually stray too far from who they are
in soul and spirit.
