> We could be talking apples and oranges here so I don't want to seem argumentative. I don't have any idea what the percentage of fathers who molest their children is, but there is some evidence about when a child is molested, who the perps are.
>"Just as patriarchal men have run away
from home if they couldn’t be the boss, there has been a strong feminist push to declare men
to be unnecessary, and potentially dangerous, in the lives of women and children. Actually,
abuse and incest by fathers is fairly uncommon, while abuse and incest from stepfathers and
passing boyfriends is alarmingly high."Source: http://www.smartmarriages.com/pittman.response.html

"We would argue that the long-term trauma and need for counseling, impact on promiscuity, dependency and self-worth is more significant when the molestation is perpetrated by your own father, brother, uncle or mother's boyfriend," she said.

I'm just pointing out that disproving one case doesn't disprove all.<"No hard evidence of Satanic Ritual Abuse in North America has been found. Nevertheless, the allegations were widely publicized on radio and television talk shows, especially on Geraldo Rivera's show.
A four-year study in the early 1990s found the allegations of satanic ritual abuse to be without merit. The study was conducted by University of California at Davis psychology professors Gail S. Goodman and Phillip R. Shaver, in conjunction with Jianjian Qin of UC Davis and Bette I. Bottoms of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Their study was supported by the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect. The researchers investigated more than 12,000 accusations and surveyed more than 11,000 psychiatric, social service, and law enforcement personnel. The researchers could find no unequivocal evidence for a single case of satanic cult ritual abuse.
