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.

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

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.

A children's book about Satanic Ritual Abuse? Why? Now instead of just hearing about all the evil crimes being comitted by fictious satanists we have a book aimed specifically at children that show pictures that will go a lot farther at implanted false memories.

In one SRA hoax a child who claimed to be the victim of satanists was shown to have gotten these images in his head by being read a picture Bible that shows a baby being split apart during the story of King Solomon. It appears that the entire point of this book would be to plant false memories at an even faster rate. Every copy of this book needs to be burned before all damage is done.

SRA was a horrible black spot in our society's culture. Few other controversies in America's history (except for the witch trials) have been so blatantly religiously slanted but the SRA scare. I'm not denying that there are and were sick people in the world who somehow get it into their heads that by ceremoniously harming undeserving individuals and killing innocent animals (for something other than food), they would be rewarded in the afterlife. But this is ridiculous, there have been christians who did this exact sort of thing but it is never called "CRA" and the same goes for every religion. Satanism in no way condones needlessly and ritually killing or physically harming humans or animals (within reason, I mean, an ant isn't exactly easy to avoid killing). This is so idiculous it's frightening that someone would write a children's book supporting the idea of SRA. I'm no fan of censorship, but frankly this is sad, the whole idea of false memory was based on stupid books like this that's whole aim is to put these images into people's heads as small children. There are sick people in the world, be they satanists, christians, muslims, pagans, wiccans, hindus, buddhists, zoroastrians, jews, etc. etc. ad infinitum.

These crimes do happen to people. Satanic ritual abuse has happened to children and adults in different places. This book attempts to help children by letting them know about Satanic ritual abuse. When this book came out, people were trying to get this type of abuse to stop. Some people say these crimes did not happen, but they did and still do. But this book may not be okay for children. It should be read to them carefully so as not re-hurt them if they were abused this way.

I am a librarian and under no circumstances would I allow this title to be on the shelf. What a load of rubbish that will simply terrify children for no reason whatsoever. Are people deranged to actually promote this book? It is child abuse in my opinion.

I don't advocate book burning so I will just recommend all copies get turned into compost. This book is useless at best. There are many other better written books dealing with childhood trauma out there for adults. Kids should NEVER see this book ever it is too scary and too confusing. Whether you believe SRA is real or not this isn't the book to deal with the subject.

This book is an excellent, well written book. It educates readers about child abuse and satanic ritual abuse. It has good illustrations. Ritual abuse is a very serious and well documented crime in our society and in other countries. This book helps children understand this issue at their own level. The book should be read with a parent or an adult, to give the child time to ask questions and discuss the book further.

...for every time they mention "day care", substitute in "church." For every time they say "teacher" substitute in "priest." Then this book will be much more useful for child abuse victims.
