Book excerpt: Reports persist that children and adults are being systematically abused during rituals with satanic overtones. Opinion is divided on the truth of the matter, and the divisions are acrimonious. Sceptics argue that ritual abuse is an imported myth, believed by the gullible and propagated by the hysterical. For this investigation, Andrew Boyd has stepped beyond the current cases to interview professional carers across Britain. Between them they claim to be counselling more than 600 victims of ritual abuse. Their detailed account plus in-depth statements by survivors are shocking in the extreme. Andrew Boyd is the author of Broadcast Journalism: Techniques of Radio and TV News.
