Best Answer

When children lie about abuse, they are usually asking for attention. Also if the lie is against a step parent, the child is usually trying to break up the parents relationship;Trying to get their own parent to choose them over the new step-parent. Or the child is thinking, if they break up the current step parent relationship, their own parent will get back with their own mom/dad. Try to communicate with the child, build a trusting relationship, so that they won't try to break up the current relationship.

Because that's not there real dad or mom and they dislike or have problems about them.

Or because they see the step parent as the reason the real parents can't get back together.

Let the professionals figure that out. You may not be able to tell. If you repeatedly question the child, you could be accused of coaching the child to make up the story.
