Summary
As discussed on stream: 1960s-1980s moral panic in Western culture regarding alleged satanic cults, ritual abuse, and child sacrifice. Sparked by Manson murders (1969), escalated by McMartin Preschool scandal and other unverified allegations. Led to false accusations, wrongful prosecutions, and criminal charges against daycare workers based on coerced/suggested testimony from children. Demonstrates how fear, media amplification, and psychological pressure can create false narratives accepted as fact.
