TWENTY-FIVE years ago today, on February 27, 1991, a fleet of cars set
off in convoy from Kirkwall on the Orkney mainland. It was barely light
as they drove across the Churchill Barriers to the island of South
Ronaldsay – they wanted to be sure that the children they were going to
collect were still at home.
From the outcry they incurred later, you’d have thought they were kidnappers holding families to ransom, not police and social workers trying to protect children from one of the most vicious forms of child abuse humans have yet devised – satanic ritual abuse (SRA).
