Abstract

The articles and comments in this issue bear out the enduring impact of The Witchhunt Narrative. There is not sufficient space to acknowledge or respond to most of this feedback. This response corrects an error that was identified by one commenter and it responds to questions raised by another commenter about my analysis of the "Concerned Scientists" brief. This response also documents how Wood, Nathan, and others have misapplied the term ritual abuse, misstated the facts of many cases, and promoted "mythical numbers" that significantly exaggerate the number of false convictions. These critics are wrong about the only three cases they discuss in detail. The McMartin Preschool case began with credible evidence of child sexual abuse that continues to be distorted by critics. The Keller case began with even stronger medical evidence that is not diminished by the dubious and incomplete "retraction" of the Emeregency Room doctor. The Fuster case involved overwhelming evidence of abuse, medical and testimonial, that continues to be distored or overlooked by critics. Those who promote the witchhunt narrative rely on selective use of evidence to reach an apparently predetermined result. That is politics and advocacy, not scholarship. This dismissive approach to children's testimony has caused documented harm to children.

摘要

本期的文章和评论证实了《猎巫叙事》的持久影响。篇幅有限,无法对大部分反馈进行回应。本回应纠正了一位评论者指出的错误,并回应了另一位评论者对我对“关注科学家”简报分析提出的问题。本回应还记录了伍德、内森等人如何错误使用仪式性虐待一词,错误陈述许多案件的事实,并宣扬“虚构数字”,严重夸大了错误定罪的数量。这些批评者在他们详细讨论的仅有的三个案件上是错误的。麦克马丁幼儿园案始于儿童性虐待的可信证据,但批评者仍在不断歪曲这些证据。凯勒案一开始就有更有力的医学证据,而急诊室医生可疑且不完整的“撤回声明”并没有削弱这些证据。富斯特案涉及大量虐待证据,包括医学证据和证人证言,但批评者仍在不断歪曲或忽视这些证据。那些宣扬猎巫叙事的人依靠有选择性地使用证据来得出一个显然预先确定的结果。这是政治和宣传,而不是学术研究。这种对儿童证词不屑一顾的态度已对儿童造成了有记录的伤害。
