When evil visited Orkney: Untold story of
ritual child abuse allegations on the islandEVEN those who deny the
existence of international satanist networks can hardly pretend that satanist
abuse never happens – in 2002 Manuela and Daniel Ruda were convicted by a German
court of killing Frank Haagen, carving a pentagram into his stomach and drinking
his blood. In 2011 Colin Batley was convicted of leading a satanist cult in the
west Wales town of Kidwelly. Among other things he committed 11 separate rapes,
three indecent assaults, six counts of buggery and four counts of possessing
indecent images of a child.
Over and over again satanist abuse has been
proved to exist, so why does so much energy go into denying it?

Orkney, Ayrshire, Cleveland ... will the authorities ever learn about
child sexual abuse cases?Secondly, like Rafferty I and others have over
25 years tried to publicise suggestive evidence that children were indeed in
danger. Particularly over the Orkney case, we have tried to correct untruths –
in print, on the BBC, in documentaries and online – and point up the flaws in
the endlessly recycled and invented theories by supporters of accused adults,
who allege it was just "satanic panic". We were repeatedly unsuccessful.
The
time is surely overdue to end a silencing and misrepresentation which sees, for
example, not a single neutral, factual report of either case anywhere publicly
available on the internet. By publishing Rafferty's article, The National has
stood out for its courage and independence.
Thirdly – and I believe most
important – the verdicts and the myth-making after these cases have for decades
negatively influenced public attitudes, professional child protection behaviour,
and child protection law.
Was there suggestive, alarming evidence of
organised sexual abuse? Yes, in both Orkney and Ayrshire. And if the assumed
outcomes of the Orkney or Ayrshire cases are incorrect, then the future lessons
drawn from them – like caution and timidity against sexual abuse, deference and
apology to articulate adults – need revising too.

blames bishop for Australia child abuse cover-upCardinal George Pell
says he was deceived by a senior clergyman over the activities of a paedophile
priest.
On Tuesday Cardinal Pell was questioned about paedophile Gerald
Ridsdale, a priest who was repeatedly moved between parishes in the 1970s and
80s. He accepted no responsibility for the failure to report Ridsdale's
abuse.
Cardinal Pell repeatedly criticised Ronald Mulkearns, who was bishop
of Ballarat between 1971 and 1997, for withholding information about
Ridsdale.
Cardinal Pell was one of the consultors who gave advice to Bishop
Mulkearns from 1977 to 1984.
Ridsdale committed more than 130 offences
against young boys while working as a chaplain at Ballarat's St Alipius school
between the 1960s and the 1980s.

Cardinal Pell admits he did not act on abuse claim
Vatican
treasurer Cardinal George Pell has admitted he did not act after a boy told him
about a paedophile priest.
Dowlan, who has since changed his name to Ted
Bales, was jailed last year for abusing boys in the 1970s and '80s.
Pell said
it was a "disastrous coincidence" that five paedophiles came to be at the same
school and parish in Ballarat in the 1970s.

Justice Scalia spent his last hours with members of this
secretive society of elite huntershe was among high-ranking members of
an exclusive fraternity for hunters called the International Order of St.
Hubertus, an Austrian society that dates back to the 1600s.
The society's
U.S. chapter launched in 1966 at the famous Bohemian Club in San Francisco,
which is associated with the all-male Bohemian Grove — one of the most
well-known secret societies in the country.
Law enforcement officials told
The Post that they had no knowledge of the International Order of St. Hubertus
or its connection to Poindexter and ranch guests. The officials said the FBI had
declined to investigate Scalia's death when they were told by the marshals that
he died from natural causes.

BBC missed opportunities to stop sexual predator Jimmy Savile,
inquiry findsAn inquiry clears the BBC of wrongdoing but points out
serious failings in its handling of Jimmy Savile, a celebrated TV presenter
revealed to have been one of Britain's most prolific sex
offenders.
"Celebrities were treated with kid gloves and were virtually
untouchable," said Janet Smith, a former Court of Appeal judge who conducted the
inquiry, describing a BBC culture of not wanting to "rock the
boat."...
Smith's review said the Savile abuse incidents dated all the way
back to 1959. She identified 72 victims of Savile, both male and female — and
one was only 8 years old.
But girls who raised concerns about Savile were
treated as a "nuisance." In one case in 1969, a girl who was molested on the
"Top of the Pops" program while standing next to Savile on the podium was
"ejected from the building."
The inquiry also concluded that another BBC
star, sports presenter Stuart Hall, 86, also used his celebrity to shield his
activities, often plying his victims with alcohol.
The Hall investigation was
carried out by another former Court of Appeal judge, Linda Dobbs, because Smith
had a conflict of interest. Dobbs found 21 victims of Hall, who was jailed in
2013 after pleading guilty to multiple charges of indecent assault.

Stopping Child Abuse: Paid Family Leave Reduced The Number Of Child
Abuse Cases In CaliforniaIn 2004, California introduced its Paid Family
Leave (PFL) program, which allows for up to six weeks of paid leave for the
birth of a newborn or to take care of a sick family member in a 12-month period.
Despite there being proven benefits to having paid family leave, a number of
other states have not followed suit. A recent study published in the journal
Injury Prevention aimed to compare to the impact of the PFL program in
California to states that have not enacted any parental leave laws.

Recorded child sex abuse cases increase by more than
30%Police believe that while it is true more victims are coming forwards
there is also an increase in abuse driven by technology – and 80% of the abuse
is of girls Cases of recorded child sexual abuse increased by more
than 30% last year, figures suggest. Police chiefs fear the rise is being driven
by predators searching online for victims.
Alan Wardle, head of policy at the
NSPCC, said: "Child sexual abuse is about abuse of power. Victims are cowed into
silence. They are told they will not be believed, that it was their fault. The
internet has given predators the opportunity to find and abuse children in a new
way.
