\u201cSome professionals take the charges (of satanic ritual abuse) seriously. \u2018It’s hard to believe, but so were the reports about Nazi atrocities,\u2019 says Bennett Braun, director of the Dissociative Disorder Program at Chicago’s Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center. \u2018Then we found the concentration camps.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cSkeptics are still waiting for the equivalent to a concentration camp to be found. No investigation has ever turned up so much as a bloodstain that could be traced with certainty to these bizarre activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat’s indisputable is the existence of a busy network of therapists specializing in SRA. \u2018These allegations are produced by the unrelenting pressure of the therapist,\u2019 says Richard Ofshe, a professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, who studies cults and thought control. \u2018You will eventually come up with bizarre stuff because you run out of all the ordinary stuff.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 From \u201cRush to Judgment\u201d in Newsweek (April 19, 1993)<\/em><\/p>\n As Newsweek\u2019s secondary headline noted, \u201cAmerica is now at war against child abuse. But some recent cases suggest we may be pushing too hard, too fast.\u201d Among the prosecutions criticized was Little Rascals, but by this time both Bob Kelly and Dawn Wilson had been convicted and imprisoned.<\/p>\n Unlike so many others who fomented the ritual abuse\/repressed memory\/multiple personality mania, psychiatrist Braun actually suffered consequences: He lost his medical license for two years and was among the defendants in a malpractice suit ultimately settled for $7.5 million. He now practices in Butte, Montana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 12, 2013 \u201cSome professionals take the charges (of satanic ritual abuse) seriously. \u2018It’s hard to believe, but so were the reports about Nazi atrocities,\u2019 says Bennett Braun, director of the Dissociative Disorder Program at Chicago’s Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center. \u2018Then we found the concentration camps.\u2019 \u201cSkeptics are still waiting for the equivalent to a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1009"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2427,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009\/revisions\/2427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
