The False Memory Syndrome Foundation was an advocacy group for people who have been accused of child abuse. Their argument was, that so called resurfacing memories, aka "false memories" of abuse in many cases remembered in adulthood, are not connected to events that have actually ever happened. Thus people being accused are actually innocent. The term "false memory syndrome" did not enter the scientific literature and was by informed accounts invented to shield child abusers from legal consequences. The organization shut down at the end of 2019.

| Ritual abuse | “In the Netherlands, if a child or adult discloses ritual abuse, then by law, the case must be referred to a panel who manages "false allegations". The allegations are mothballed - not a single case referred to the panel has been prosecuted in over two decades. The panel has stated publicly that there is no evidence of ritual abuse in existence. This is patently false. There are criminal prosecutions for sexual offences involving ritual abuse dating back to the 1980s in a range of countries, including serious multi-perpetrator cases. I stated in the documentary that I've personally seen crime scenes splashed in animal blood and occult symbols, and injuries to the bodies of victims. This claim has apparently caused quite a stir in the Netherlands. But I've written and spoken about this publicly for 15 years.” | Michael Salter | 24 July 2020 |
