If perpetrated in ritualistic settings, a sample of ten identical items from both
the EAS (Extreme Abuse Survey for Adult Survivors) and P-EAS (for professionals)
and ten similar items from the C-EAS (for child caregivers) could be classified as
ideologically motivated crimes.
Listed below are the total number who answered the question (N) and the percent of
“yes” responses to each statement by each group. (EAS - survivor reported the
memory; P-EAS - professional had worked with at least one survivor who reported
the memory; C-EAS - caregiver had heard at least one child report the memory)
1093 88% 216 97% 90 82% Receiving physical abuse from perpetrators.
1021 26% 217 55% 82 18% Survivor’s own child murdered by his/her perpetrators.

Although controversies over the existence of ritual abuse have centered on reports
of abuse from satanic cults, results of two studies show that ritual abuse is also
practiced in other groups founded on religious or ideological doctrines. In 1997,
German journalist Ulla Froeling and German psychotherapist Michaela Huber (Becker,
1999) compiled data from a questionnaire returned by 126 therapists and counselors
from 61 locations in Germany. The backgrounds of 354 cases in treatment were
examined to determine the classification of groups in which survivors had been
ritually abused. More than half of the victims reported abuse in more than one
category. My co-researchers and I asked similar questions on the Extreme Abuse
Survey for Adults (EAS) offered in German and English See Table 1 for a
comparison of preliminary results of both studies.

Three additional questions on the EAS asked about abuse in ideologically motivated
groups: (1) Ritual abuse in a witchcraft cult was reported by 23% of 971
respondents, (2) ritual abuse in voodooism was reported by 7% of 966 respondents,
and (3) 26% of 1000 respondents answered “yes” to the question: “Secret
government-sponsored mind control experiments were performed on me as a child.”
