Uh, he is really twisting the words of the judge there. She is saying that Tadros' statement is a kind of statement that can be proved right or wrong, not that it's already been done. My belief in his innocence is not exactly heightened by this.

As always, compare it to the custody ruling from 1993: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/danny-shea/heres-the-1993-woody-alle_b_4746866.html?guccounter=1. One glaring problem: Several adults, including professionals, had noticed Allen had a deeply problematic relationship with Dylan for years before 1992, so Moses' claims that he never saw anything wrong rings false.

The basic principle of 'believe the victim' should always be applied in the absence of clear and compelling contradictory evidence. Moses Farrow offers clear contradictory testimony and some contradicting evidence. he is at last half-compelling. now all I can say is this is a hugely tangled mess that outsiders are ill-equipped to disentangle.

There is no evidence in his post, though?
― Frederik B, Thursday, 24 May 2018 18:37 (six years ago) link
I don't want to dive wholeheartedly into that conversation, but it's completely possible that the Farrow household was a complete mess and abusive, that Allen was a good dad to one of the kids, and that he also was a complete creep
all this does is show that the solution was ugly all around, not just on one side, with one kid saying it's implausible Allen would be inappropriate with one of the other kids, because he was nice to the writer

The 'evidence', such as it is, consists of his factually verifiable description of the attic space where Dylan recalled the assault and the lack of toy electric trains which form such a central part of her story. But, no, he doesn't post photos of the attic to corroborate his testimony. So, you are technically correct to say no physical evidence was offered.
― A is for (Aimless), Thursday, 24 May 2018 18:50 (six years ago) link
the situation is so confused and awful it's hard to know what to make of it. but moses makes a specific argument for why the specific abuse against dylan couldn't have happened that day, and he was a witness. has that been refuted anywhere?

Doesn't that account of Moses kinda contradicts Judge Wilks' statement?
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 24 May 2018 18:59 (six years ago) link
That report put an end to any chance of criminal charges being brought against my father. A second, 14-month investigation by the New York State Department of Social Services, reached the same conclusion as Yale/New Haven: “No credible evidence was found that [Dylan Farrow] has been abused or maltreated.” Nevertheless, when a judge granted custody of Satchel and Dylan to Mia, at 15, I chose the path of least resistance, and also stayed with my mother.
Seems quite different from...
In his 33-page decision in June 1993,[9] Justice Elliott Wilk rejected Allen's bid for custody of the three children, and denied Allen immediate visitation rights with Dylan, saying of Allen's behavior toward Dylan that it was "grossly inappropriate and that measures must be taken to protect her".[9][8][63] His criticism of Allen's parenting was harsh.[64][20] Rejecting Allen's portrayal of Farrow as a "woman scorned", Wilk said there was no credible evidence that she had coached Dylan, and he criticized Allen for his "trial strategy" of turning family members and employees against one another.

i am sorry. it certainly wasn't my intention, or the only thing that i deduced from that blogpost. But it was certainly a factor that didn't help in this situation, adopting a whole bunch of people from all kinds of circumstances into a showbiz home that probably already wasn't functioning too well (judging from that blogpost)
adoption is a very, very tricky process, even in safe, stable, households with, say 1 adopted child and 1 biological child.

Several adults, including professionals, had noticed Allen had a deeply problematic relationship with Dylan for years before 1992, so Moses' claims that he never saw anything wrong rings false.
besides indeed citing on this point one of mia farrow's friends, one professional french teacher, and one of the battery of child therapists this family seems to have been keeping employed even before any of this happened, this document also states for the record that mia farrow is a wonderful loving mother who adores each child equally and that it just isn't credible that she'd subject any of them to any of this if it weren't true, so if it's bedrock text of some sort then i guess there's a whole lot more in the moses post that "rings false"
no idea what happened anymore but sorry to all these kids, jesus, no one should have to be raised by any of these people tbh
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 24 May 2018 20:07 (six years ago) link
So the takeaway isn't "don't adopt," it's "don't get adopted by people who don't have their shit together."

dlh, that text is pretty much the final word from 1993, and is from a neutral observer. Yes, it should kinda be a bedrock text. Doesn't mean everything in it is true, but as a historical document, it's closer in time, it's official so probably less biased, etc.
