Announcement:
Child Information Gateway, previously known as the National
Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect, agreed to make the
Dr. Gail Goodman study "Characteristics and Sources of
Allegations of Ritualistic Child Abuse" public. The link - which
is too long to post here - is available via my web site. One can
also download the re****t via the Information Gateway library
web page. Just type in the name of the re****t and follow the directions.

This study, which pur****ted to be the first empirical research study
to analyze and debunk cases of ritual abuse, was formerly not available
on the internet. I believe that was for a reason. I recently discovered
that Dr. Goodman went on over the years to make extreme statements
about the lack of validity of ritual abuse and what this study pur****tedly
"revealed" which completely gave her agenda away. I believe that
agenda was to disseminate propaganda about ritual abuse which
was not in the best interest of children.
An update of my critique of this study - in which I discovered numerous
and substantial irregularities - can be found at:

I also discovered that a censored version of the 1991-92 Grand
Jury Re****t No. 8, penned by Carol Hopkins, was posted on an
old San Diego Grand Jury web page. That version deleted all of the
footnotes which unfortunately sourced the FMSF as a legitimate body
and deleted reference to the child abuse cases which Ms. Hopkins
misre****ted about which was discovered by the subsequent 1992-93
Grand Jury.

Today, the Grand Jury office scanned in the actual Re****t No. 8 which
