\u201cWhen five-year-old Allison\u2019s parents begin to see a change in her behavior at home, they seek professional help for her. They find that Allison and other children have been ritually abused at a day care center. Thus begins Allison\u2019s recovery….\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 From \u201cDon\u2019t Make Me Go Back, Mommy: A Child\u2019s Book\u00a0about Satanic Ritual Abuse\u201d by Doris Sanford\u00a0 (1990)<\/em><\/p>\n Who knows how many lucky youngsters found this colorfully illustrated hardback under the Christmas tree? (More than 7,000 copies made it into print.)<\/p>\n Although Sanford credits herself with \u201cmonths of intensive research into the nature and practice of satanic ritual abuse,\u201d her dedication to \u201cPatti Hills, Survivor…. We honor you, Patti! \u201d suggests she relied heavily on a Portland, Oregon, therapist \u201cwho claims to be… a witness to human sacrifice\u201d (Willamette Week, Oct. 22, 1997). Also consulting: Lauren Stratford, author of the discredited baby-breeder memoir \u201cSatan\u2019s Underground<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n In 1993, \u201cDon\u2019t Make Me Go Back, Mommy\u201d helped advance a notorious ritual-abuse case against a Spring Valley, Calif., child-care volunteer. The mother of one of Dale Akiki\u2019s supposed victims admitted under cross-examination that she had read the book to her daughter, and it likely made the rounds of other parents. (After more than two years behind bars and a seven-month trial, Akiki was found not guilty of all charges.)<\/p>\n
