                      SATANIC EVIDENCE IS LACKING
                          by David Mannweiler
        From time to time for more than a year, a woman in Pennsylvania
has called to try to goad me into investigating what she called "a very
organized satanic group in Cicero and Noblesville that is funded by
child pornography."
        She used to live in Cicero. She had to move two years ago to get
help, she said, because no Hamilton County official believed her
when she reported ritual abuse of children in private homes and
in Civil War or Prohibition era tunnels in the area.
        "They think I'm crazy," she said. "there is a cover-up. With God
as my witness, this is true. They'll tell you I'm crazy. that it
never happens. THat's how it's done when someone reports this."
        She said her children - they were ages 2 and 6 in one call, 2
and 5 in another and in a third call she said her son would be 9 in a
month - have been abused by this satanic cult and her ex-neighbors
molested and filmed her children.
        She didn't sue her ex-neighbors: "That takes money.
                          HER SUSPICIONS GREW
        "This is devil worship Voodoo. There is a minister involved. A
contractor. My children said they saw someone in a police uniform. They
said they saw a puppy being gutted. They have people in power who stop
the justice system from investigating this."
        She believes the school system might be involved. And Cicero
police. And maybe postal authorities and the Indiana State Police,
because she reported to each of them.
        She said a therapist at a child sexual abuse clinic at
Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh interviewed her children for 2,500
hours and believes the kids.
        The caller believes everything she's told me is true. Very
likely, she doesn't believe this week's results of the first
authoritative national survey on the subject of satanic ritual abuse.
                           12,264 ACCUSATIONS
        The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect surveyed 6,910
psychologists and clinical social workers, and 4,655 district attorneys,
police departments and social service agencies.
        Together. they reported investigating 12,264 accusations of
ritual sexual abuse by group cults.
        They couldn't find one case with evidence that clearly
corroborated the most common accusation of "a well-organized
inter-generational satanic cult, who sexually molested and tortured
children in their homes or schools for years and committed a series of
murders," said survey director Gail Goodman, a psychologist at the
University of California-Davis.
        Goodman admitted the survey did turn up "convincing evidence" of
lone abusers or couples who say they are involved with Satan "or use the
claim to intimidate victims."
        And she acknowledged not everyone will be convinced by the
survey, that some people will continue to believe what they believe and
they'll brand the survey part of a giant cover-up.
        I think I know someone in Pennsylvania who'd agree.
