What do these people think of the Daycare sex-abuse hysteria of the 1980's-90's?
Didn't they learn anything from these false cases of ritual sex abuse?
Or perhaps they just think those daycare workers got away with it.
The 80s-90s was a long time ago for some people--especially young journalists. An NPR affiliate let Judy come on and just babble away about how Nazis and devil worshipers were controlling people. It was a theatre of the absurd, to say the least, but NPR?!?! These "journalists" might do as much research as clicking open Judy's Twenty-two Faces Amazon page, and glancing at the top-voted reviews. That's why it's important to get on there and vote up the rational reviews and down the irrational ones (right now the irrational ones rule). You can hear the NPR interview through a link on Doug's letter where Judy Byington also says she conducted a therapy session (despite being unlicensed).
