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.

1)the kid is a boy
