Kenneth V Lanning, wrote this "Investigators Guide to alligations of "Ritual" Child Abuse" in Jan 1992. For the FBI and was a FBI Supervisory Special Agent.

How is he still allowed to work in this field? Why doesn't anyone question his ethics. Every investigator regardless if FBI or county sheriff, are incouraged to study this paper before persuing any satan ritual accusations. unbelievable. Google this guy and see for your self. I am really hoping I read it wrong. My stomach hurts. how has he been able to influence the cases of SRA children for so many years and no one look into him. I am horrified.
Please read this exerpt from his final conclusion: "Until hard evidence is obtained and corroborated, the public should not be frightened into believing
that babies are being bred and eaten, that 50,000 missing children are being murdered in human
sacrifices, or that satanists are taking over America's day care centers or institutions. No one can prove
with absolute certainty that such activity has NOT occurred. The burden of proof, however, as it would
be in a criminal prosecution, is on those who claim that it has occurred. The explanation that the satanists
are too organized and law enforcement is too incompetent only goes so far in explaining the lack of
evidence. For at least eight years American law enforcement has been aggressively investigating the
allegations of victims of ritual abuse. There is little or no evidence for the portion of their allegations that
deals with large-scale baby breeding, human sacrifice, and organized satanic conspiracies. Now it is up
to mental health professionals, not law enforcement, to explain why victims are alleging things that don't
seem to have happened. Professionals in this field must accept the fact that there is still much we do not
know about the sexual victimization of children and that this area desperately needs study and research
