"Bizarre forms of sexual abuse..Often paired with: sacrificing animals, drinking blood, killing babies, burying infant corpses in the woods"

Argos Investigates Satanic Ritual Abuse

"Marinke wrote down that she would be taken away in a car. From a very young age. She was often under the influence of drugs, so that she wouldn’t know where she was brought to...teachers, lawyers, and ‘even people working within the Dutch government...' "

"We’re talking dozens of overlapping testimonies. Over a hundred people mention abuse on specific holidays. Two thirds mention men and women in robes - black, purple, red or white"

"Children, I’m almost afraid to say, but they’re trained, I think, to continue to function normally while being abused. That also entails that children can endure abuse from age zero, can continue smiling, even though they are being hurt severely"

"Remaining silent and never saying a word, in order to make it possible to let them get abused by strangers without anyone finding out"

"The reality is not nearly as mysterious as the term ‘ritual abuse’ might lead you to think. Victims don’t call it ritual abuse, but speak of ‘them’ or ‘the network’. ‘They’ are also engaged in drug and arms trafficking"

"Part of the tactic to make people stay is making them complicit. Forcing them to hurt or abuse other children. While telling them: ‘you see, this is what you want, you are just as evil. And when other people see this, and we do have images, you’ll just go to prison’."

"It has to be addressed, say the 140 respondents speaking of Ritual Abuse in our questionnaire. Four out of five respondents were forced to inflict pain upon other children. This makes for the deepest traumas. It is impossible to find the right words to describe it"

"they also speak of ‘nobodies’. Children...born into & kept within the network, and never got officially registered. Some of them are dragged from place to place. Others live with families that are active within the network...These nobodies undergo the most severe forms of abuse"

"We ask him whether he’s also heard about the involvement of highly ranked officials in the abuse or its coverup"

"Yes..I also think it’s something they’re told again and again, within these networks...Like they’re in charge of everyone and control the entire world"

"Salter specializes in organized crime networks. The police often ask his advice. He explains that you shouldn’t think of it as there being one massive child abuse network. It’s like drug trafficking, there’s isn’t one single massive drug trafficking network"

"It’s hard to believe that these awful things are really happening, and at the same time it’s also difficult to believe that we refuse to accept their existence, says German journalist Claudia Fischer"

"She is the founder and coordinator of the Info Portal for Ritual Abuse. Together with her colleagues she documents court cases with elements of ritual abuse from all over the world"

"In order to protect the identities of the participants who pointed out the warehouse we won’t share the exact number of people; but there were several. They say that this was the location where child and animal pornography would be produced"

"we receive an anonymous email: ‘Beware, they know about your investigation. They’re going to get rid of evidence - just like they did with Dutroux’.

That same day the warehouse in the Bollenstreek burns down...The damage is so severe that a cause of fire cannot be determined"

"She has always been told that something awful would happen to her, or others, if she were to talk, Marinke says. And because she disassociates it’s very difficult for her to tell her story chronologically and in an ordered manner"

"even if you manage to get one person convicted, at the same time you know that there’d be ten, twenty, I don’t know, others who can get back at you for it, get revenge... "

"It’s just incredibly painful to me to know that so many things were done to your friend, but you can’t take it to the police and get justice done. That the perpetrators cannot be convicted or anything. Because everyone thinks this does not exist"

Do you think these type of "networks" actually exist?

Do you think the child 'welfare' system ( #FosterCare/ #CPS) is utilized for these abuse networks?
