Men and women in these groups can be abusers with both sexes involved in all aspects of the abuse. Children are often forced to abuse other children. Pornography and prostitution are sometimes part of the abuse as is the use of drugs, hypnotism and mind control. Some groups use complex rituals to terrify, silence and convince victims of the tremendous power of the abusers. the purpose is to gain and maintain power over the child in order to exploit. Some groups are so highly organised that they also have links internationally through trade in child-pornography, drugs and arms. Some abusers organise themselves around a religion or faith and the teaching and training of the children within this faith, often takes the form of severe and sustained torture and abuse. Whether or not the adults within this type of group believe that what they are doing is, in some way 'right' is immaterial to the child on the receiving end of the 'teachings' and abuse.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Laurie Matthew" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/laurie-matthew/some-abusers-organise-themselves-in-groups-to-abuse-children-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9bd/laurie-matthew-31209_abuse-sexual-abuse_some-abusers-organise-themselves-in-grou_584742.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9bd/laurie-matthew-31209_abuse-sexual-abuse_some-abusers-organise-themselves-in-grou_584742.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9bd/laurie-matthew-31209_abuse-sexual-abuse_some-abusers-organise-themselves-in-grou_584742.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Some abusers organise themselves in groups to abuse children and other adults in a more formally ritualised…” — Laurie Matthew", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“In a nutshell, the process they [abusers in a ritual abuse group] use on survivors is designed to: break the will and personality of the person until they become as nothing... with no will of their own...no identity...then they... rebuild the person & shape their will in order to...try and make the person one of them...thus gaining power If abusers hold all the power, becoming one of them can, for some, be the only means of survival.
