Ritual Abuse is the startling behind-the-scenes story of the most disturbing child custody trial in Canadian history. For eighteen months, investigative reporter Kevin Marron sat in attendance during the trial that filled the quiet community of Hamilton with horror and shocked outrage.

In February 1985, two sisters were placed in foster care by their mother, who feared for their safety. Only days later, the foster mother announced that the children were telling explicit tales of being sexually molested by their unstable young mother, her live-in boyfriend and their violent estranged father. Then came macabre stories of pornography, orgies, cannibalism and ritualistic murder involving many other children—allegations so extreme, so bizarre, so graphic in detail that it seemed impossible that they could have been made up. Finally, in March 1987, Judge Thomas Beckett ruled that the parents in this trial would no longer be granted access to their children, describing the evidence as a “virtual flood of the most lurid, gruesome bloodthirsty stories that any person could possibly imagine”’

Now, long after the decision was handed down, evidence from all over North America suggests that what happened in Hamilton may not be an isolated incident but that ritualistic child abuse by satanic cults could be epidemic—and also our ‘best kept secret’ hidden by traditions that hold the privacy of family life sacrosanct and by adults who refuse to believe the allegations of the victims themselves—because they are only children.

Kevin Marron was on hand as countless expert witnesses took the stand during this politically charged and costly trial. He viewed the chilling videotaped testimony of the sisters “at play” with a therapist, and he recreates the bizarre testimony of the girls’ mother—herself a victim of abuse—as she collapsed under oath.
