Talk:Anne Johnson Davis

Sources

Hell Minus One the website can't be used as a source for anything that's not "Davis claims..." as it is not a reliable source (it's self-published, see also WP:SPS and WP:SELFPUB). The news clips could be used so long as they are still live and ideally not an interview. I would like a source for her parents paying for therapy, but the newspapers don't mention it.

What does this mean?

I haven't a clue what this is supposed to be saying, it seems that it is saying scholars have provided objective testimonials, anyway it seems like a coatrack. If people want to read about SRA and moral panic they can click through. The references should be about this book not a coatrack for proving or disproving the concept. Ghost stories don't have this type of coatrack warning. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 21:53, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Satanic ritual abuse is considered a moral panic with no objective substantiation except through testimonials by most scholars.

False memory syndrome NPOV

The False memory syndrome section is very POV towards Davis book. The section fails to note the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) iatrical is written to disprove her story. The statement listed "We leave it to FMSF Newsletter readers to decide." is semi-sarcastic, semi-rhetorical, and only semi-suggestive. Sure the FMSF wants the reader to "decide" for himself, but the FMSF article is written so the only logical outcome is that the book is false. It's the old "Since there is only one logical conclusion all let you decided" writing ploy.

As the section is written now the section seems to suggest support by the FMS, by only suggesting that the FMS wants people to read the book. The section needs to make clear the FMSF really view this book.--ARTEST4ECHO (^talk/_contribs) 18:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

If you can come up with a better summary, I encourage you to add it. The book has been pretty much ignored except by the FMSF. They don't outright say "this book is nonsense and doesn't support the existence of SRA", but give it is the FMSF they are certainly going to be critical.

Where are the confessions?

It seems to be frequently pointed out that this account stands out from other claims of satanic ritual abuse in that physical evidence exists to corroborate it - namely a signed confession from her parents and a photograph of the victim covered in bruises.

Do these records actually exist anywhere that we can see them? They seem pretty important to the narrative, yet all I can find anywhere is a passing mention wherein they're held up as "evidence" that SRA is real. If they can be found, I think the article would benefit by their inclusion, or at least some specific details as to what exactly was confessed to.
