Welcome to Part 2 of our two-part series on the Satanic Ritual Abuse Panic (at the disco) that swept the nation in the 1980's. This week, Hannah tells Katy about the McMartin Preschool case, in which one woman set off a seven-year, multimillion dollar court case based on her son's gastrointestinal problems (and inability to effectively communicate due to being a child.) Find out why you should be playing RPG's, what conservative Christians have to gain from Satanism, and how to properly excavate your child's preschool in search of cult-related items.
The U.S. justice system is a terrible thing, and this country is full of terrible people. Enjoy!
