The record supports the court’s neglect finding in that the mother subjected the child to multiple, repeated, intrusive physical and mental health examinations based on her unfounded suspicions that the father had sexually abused the child. The record indicates that the mother’s charges were thoroughly investigated, and were contraindicated by the child’s occasional statements that she was lying about the abuse, that her mother told her to make the statements, and by the child’s vague and fanciful descriptions of events.
