Answer / pradeep

If the second statements were made by women, then both her
statements are lie(he is a girl? ?he is lying?.if these are
to be taken as separate statements).In that case it
contradicts "no women tells consecutive truth or false" coz
here both of her statements are lies.
Ans the statments canno be from Men also.

Answer / surya prakash

1)the kid is a boy
because eventhough he replied the answer truthly.

2)the mother spoke the first because
any how if her first sentence is true then the second one
will be wrong or if her first sentence is false then the
second one will be wrong which satisfies the condition of
