It may have all begun with one parent&#8217;s complaint about punishment given her child.<\/p>\n<p>Among the alleged perpetrators: the sheriff and mayor. But prosecutors would charge only Robin Byrum, Darlene Harris, Elizabeth &#8220;Betsy&#8221; Kelly, Robert &#8220;Bob&#8221; Kelly, Willard Scott Privott, Shelley Stone and Dawn Wilson \u2013 the Edenton 7.<\/p>\n<p>Along with sodomy and beatings, allegations included a baby killed with a handgun, a child being hung upside down from a tree and being set on fire and countless other fantastic incidents involving spaceships, hot air balloons, pirate ships and trained sharks.<\/p>\n<p>By the time prosecutors dropped the last charges in 1997, Little Rascals had become North Carolina&#8217;s longest and most costly criminal trial. Prosecutors kept defendants jailed in hopes at least one would turn against their supposed co-conspirators. Remarkably, none did. Another shameful record: Five defendants had to wait longer to face their accusers in court than anyone else in North Carolina history.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1991 and 1997, Ofra Bikel produced three extraordinary episodes on the Little Rascals case for the PBS series &#8220;Frontline.&#8221; Although &#8220;Innocence Lost&#8221; did not deter prosecutors, it exposed their tactics and fostered nationwide skepticism and dismay.<\/p>\n<p>With each passing year, the absurdity of the Little Rascals charges has become more obvious. But no admission of error has ever come from prosecutors, police, interviewers or parents. This site is devoted to the issues raised by this case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>On Facebook<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cff-wrapper\"><div class=\"cff-wrapper-ctn \" ><div id=\"cff\" data-char=\"400\"

You must be willing to challenge every previously held notion that you may have about the world and how it operates. You must push past your comfort zone and look beyond the veneer and the facade to what lies beneath the surface and within the bowels of the human psyche. You must be courageous enough to swim against the tide long enough to reach still water, where you can actually study dissociative trauma and even mind control in conjunction with ritual trauma allegations. Only then will you begin to see these allegations in their true light&#8230;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"style184\">Why do I continue to resist Professor Gillotte\u2019s call to \u201cchallenge every previously held notion&#8230; about the world and how it operates\u201d?
