Many ritual child abuse cases never are prosecuted due to the disbelief of authorities or the unlikelihood that young, severely traumatized children will be able to withstand cross-examination.

A 1993 survey by the American Bar Association's Center on Children and Family Law determined that 26 percent of prosecutors nationwide have handled cases involving "ritualistic or sexual abuse." (Ross, 1994).

The ritualistic aspects of the crimes often are not presented in court but are clearly indicated in the victims' accounts.*

Some of these cases have been overturned, look for reason

a lot of these cases happened during the satanic panic of the 80's
