Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
This is a very specialized title that, although in picture-book format, belongs in the child-abuse section of the adult collection. Five-year-old Allison's behavior indicates to her concerned parents that something is wrong at her day care center. In unseen action, they discover that the center practices sexual, physical , and psychological abuse in the guise of religious ritual. Through dialogue, Allison and her parents reveal their feelings and the beginnings of the healing process to counselors and legal personnel. Some details of abuse are familiar from the lengthy McMartin trial, such as the "movie star room" in which naked children are photographed. The appendix lists 10 guidelines for parents on how to handle their own feelings during this family crisis. All of the people at the day care center are white and look like evil, angry young witches. This is not a book for general readers. The child's ordeal is so horrifying and the display of its aftermath so subtle that readers need familiarity with the subject to avoid misinterpretation. It could be a useful title for social workers, law enforcement officials, psychologists, counselors, religious personnel, and the unfortunate parents and children who have endured such trauma. --Anne Osborn, Youth Training School, Dept. of Youth Authority, Ontario, CA

Beware,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Make Me Go Back, Mommy: A Child's Book about Satanic Ritual Abuse (Hurts of Childhood Series) (Hardcover)
Popular books claiming the reality of Satanic abuse have been proven fraudulent, the most embarassing to the recovered memory movement being "Satan's Underground" by Lauren Stratford. Not a single documented case has arisen in the past seventeen years of intense search. Satanic ritual abuse is a media myth. Please read "Making Monsters" by Ofshe and Watters instead.

A dangerous book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Make Me Go Back, Mommy: A Child's Book about Satanic Ritual Abuse (Hurts of Childhood Series) (Hardcover)
This book talks about ritual abuse in a day-care
setting. Readers should be aware that starting in
1983 there have been many court cases similar in
nature to this book. Bakersfield CA, the McMartin
Pre-school, Little Rascals etc are well known.
Many adults were given long jail sentences. It
is only in recent years that researchers have found that it is possible for investigators to implant false memories in the mind of young
children simply by asking direct questions
repeatedly. People convicted are now having their
cases reviewed and are being released from prison.
There is a strong possibility that the content
of this book is based on false implanted memoires,
and that the book should be considered a piece of
fiction rather than non-fiction

To "A Reader" and anyone who believes in the validity of SRA,
By Alpha_67 (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't Make Me Go Back, Mommy: A Child's Book about Satanic Ritual Abuse (Hurts of Childhood Series) (Hardcover)
I highly suggest you read "Satanic Panic: The Creation of a Contemporary Legend," as should anyone who believes in Satanic Ritual Abuse. That was a horrible black spot on our recent history, and unlike this book, tells the truth.
