520    "During the 1980s in California, New Jersey, and New York,
       Michigan, Massachusetts, and Florida, Tennessee, Texas, 
       Ohio, and elsewhere, daycare workers were arrested, 
       charged, tried, and convicted of committing horrible 
       sexual crimes against the children they cared for. These 
       crimes, social workers and prosecutors said, had gone 
       undetected for years, and they consisted of a brutality 
       and sadism that defied all imagining. Children across the 
       country painted a nightmarish picture of their abuse, some
       claiming they had been taken to graveyards, sometimes to 
       kill animals, and sometimes to dig up bodies, which were 
       removed from their coffins and stabbed. In some cases, 
       investigators said that the abusers were filming the 
       crimes on behalf of international child pornography rings.
       The dangers of babysitting services and day care centers 
       became a national news media fixation, and legislatures 
       took action to fend off the new threats facing the 
       country's children. Of the many hundreds of people who 
       were investigated in connection with day care and ritual 
       abuse cases around the country, some 190 were formally 
       charged with crimes, leading to more than 80 convictions. 
       But, none of it happened. It was a decade-long outbreak of
       collective hysteria - on a par with the Salem witch 
       trials"--|cProvided by publisher.
