-Caveat Lector- Hi ! Here's some data showing ritual abuse arrests and convictions. Sincerely, Neil Brick see "Archive of News Reports and Ritual Murder Cases and Appellate Documentation of Ritual and Satanic Cases at: http://members.tripod.com /~Curio_5_/ra.htm for numerous cases. This page may be triggering for survivors of abuse. Source for this quote is below: "..58% of the ritual abuse cases in the Finkelhor (1988) study that went to trial resulted in convictions. In the Kelly (1992b) study, convictions were obtained in 80% of the ritual and sexual abuse cases combined." "convictions were obtained in 11% of all ritual child abuse cases studied by Bottoms et al. (1991; 1993)." "Cultural and Economic Barriers to Protecting Children from Ritual Abuse and Mind Control," Catherine Gould, Ph.D. Dec. 1995, http://members.tripod .com/~Curio_5_/gould.html Here are some quotes: "Among 2,709 members of the American Psychological Association who responded to a poll, 2,292 cases of ritual abuse were reported (Bottoms, Shaver, & Goodman, 1993). ...Childhelp USA logged 1,741 calls pertaining to ritual abuse,... Real Active Survivors tallied nearly 3,600, Justus Unlimited of Colorado received almost 7,000, and Looking Up of Maine handled around 6,000." "Evidence also continues to accumulate that the ritual abuse of children constitutes a child abuse problem of significant scope." (Studies and numbers are listed.) "Finkelhor, Williams and Burns (1988)...substantiated reports of sexual abuse ...involving 1,639 ... child victims..." Other reports of possible ritual abuse include: Kelly (1988; 1989; 1992a; 1992b; 1993) 35 day care victims, Waterman et al.(1993) 82 children, Faller (1988; 1990) 18 children, Bybee and Mowbray(1993) 62 children, 53 children seeing others being ritually abused, Snow and Sorenson (1990) 39 children reporting ritual abuse, in Utah, and Jonker and Jonker-Bakker(1991) 48 victims of ritual abuse." "..58% of the ritual abuse cases in the Finkelhor(1988) study that went to trial resulted in convictions. In the Kelly (1992b) study, convictions were obtained in 80% of the ritual and sexual abuse cases combined." "convictions were obtained in 11% of all ritual child abuse cases studied by Bottoms et al. (1991; 1993)." DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
