The Satanic Ritual Abuse Controversy.
Putnam, Frank W.
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v15 n3 p175-79 1991
The issues raised by Jonker and Jonker-Bakker and Young et al (EC 601 187-188) illustrate a major controversy dividing the child abuse community, the alleged existence of a conspiracy of satanic, ritual, sexual abuse of children. No evidence is found to support claims that large numbers of babies and children are being sacrificed or abused in satanic rituals. (BRM)
