Satanic ritual abuse for younger readers.
Don’t Make Me Go Back, Mommy: a child’s book about satanic ritual abuse
Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. Released in 1990, the height of the Satanic Panic, this is a child's picture book about SRA in a daycare. If the theme doesn't traumatise impressionable sprogs, I guarantee the hideously deformed pencil drawings will. Here's part 2 of Awful Library Books' writeup, with yet more pictures. This would all be pretty hilarious, if it wasn't for the thought of the actual kids who were forced to read this book, the parents and therapists who thought it was a good idea; an ugly relic of an ugly, unreasoning time.
Bad enough? Wait till you get to the
comments:
"...I’m concerned about the safety of extreme abuse survivors who are responding to today’s unusual number of faux 'skeptical' postings.
People who blatantly deny the existence of ritual abuse after being offered solid resources to the contrary demonstrate that they don’t need evidence about its existence. Instead, when they continue to deny its existence in a seemingly obsessive manner, they are more likely trolling for new victims in hopes that responding survivors will - while more emotional - slip-up and provide vulnerable, personal information.
If survivors continue to respond, not realizing they’re methodically being baited, the 'skeptics' will continue the game - not only to gain additional information about the survivor, but because of the sheer sadistic pleasure the perpetrators experience - whether individually or in a wolf pack format..."
Yep, you read that right. The only people who might possibly express skepicism over SRA must themselves be Satanic ritual abusers, looking to get their filthy kicks all over again by upsetting decent honest right-wing conspiracy freaks in blog comments.
I wonder how long it'll be before we see this fire up again?
