After David Clarke was framed for funding terrorists by the Graysons and sent to prison, due to the public vitriol generated (including a book further libeling David written by Mason Treadwell), Amanda was treated hardly any better than her father, with no one questioning why she was institutionalized for no apparent reason. The real Emily Thorne also uses Amanda's father as an insult against her during a prison fight; she (ironically) later takes on the persona of Amanda Clarke herself after they switch identities, and faces much the same prejudice as an adult, with Daniel treating her coldly and generally acting like terrorism is hereditary.
