“For instance the tunnels the children described have been found.”
No they haven’t, there is nothing there.
The claims of abuse were false, elicited by an uncredentialed “therapist” who was feeding the children the information that she wanted them to testify about, and disregarding the children’s repeated and insistent claims that nothing happened. She documented all the interviews on video, and when those videos got played in court, the whole case fell apart.
Only people who really, really want to believe in these wild theories give the outlandish claims in that case any credence. If you have an ounce of skepticism, you can’t possibly take it seriously.
I didn’t take the McMartin case seriously. When I heard about it, the children’s claims had been debunked. Then in grad school the professor brought in a person to speak for our class who claimed to be a victim and what she told us was so horrific and shocking it blew my mind, and she was very believable. She nearly destroyed herself afterwards and had come such a long way toward normalcy and she wasn’t on a speaking tour, she just wanted to speak to small classrooms like ours as part of her therapy. She may have been a patient of our professor but he was careful not to say it.
Nevertheless, after hearing her, this precious woman and what she had been through, my best friend at the time and I walked out into the bright sunlight and shook it all off. Must have been mad enough up, crazy stories.
Now, what I have learned about pedophiles when they get together has made me rethink about this woman back then. And there were apparently some kinds of tunnels under that address. You can google it. It’s right where I was driving around for years trying to find parking for Pacific school, where my son went. We used that urgent care facility as well.
And if you understand the mind control crap they do to some of these unlucky kids to screw with the child’s own memory abilities, you know that the fanciful stuff and the abuse stuff can be entwined to make the child unfit to testify. Of course, since then, they seem to have gone beyond risking a child’s memory to often making the child victims just disappear. And finding them where the parents if there are any won’t know how to protest.
