Extreme Abuse Surveys
 Extreme Abuse Surveys(Mind control/Child Abuse)   | |
|---|---|
The Extreme Abuse Surveys (EAS) was created to develop a qualitative and quantitative base of data regarding the accounts of survivors of extreme abuse [1]. Four researchers from Germany and the United States, Carol Rutz, Thorsten Becker, Bettina Overcamp and Wanda Karriker worked together to develop three different surveys to develop this base of data[1].

The Trilogy
The international online survey was divided into three parts. The Extreme Abuse Survey for adult survivors (EAS), was conducted between January 1 and March 30, 2007. The Professional-Extreme Abuse Survey (P-EAS) was conducted between April 1 and June 30, 2007. This survey was for therapists, clergy, counselors and other persons that had worked professionally with at least one victim of extreme abuse. The Child-Extreme Abuse Survey (C-EAS) was conducted between July 8 and October 8, 2007. This survey was for caregivers of child survivors of extreme abuse and mind control.[1]
Methodology
The main objective of the surveys was gather preliminary data on the nature and extent of extreme abuse. The researchers decided that the most practical way to generate a large number of responses was to announce and conduct an online survey. Survey questions were pretested, and all survey items were confirmed to have face validity. The target population of the study was defined as all survivors of extreme abuse[2].
Attacks
On January 2, 2007, the server that had the survey faced an intense amount of port scans at low and high ports and attempts to access non-existing server pages. These were carried out on a large scale. This used an enormous amount of bandwidth. The attacks diminished and after three weeks almost ended. In early March 2007, there was an attack to hack into the server, but this failed. Several attempts were also made to obtain the private data of some technicians and surveyors. The EAS survey however was successfully completed on March 31, 2007.[2]
Results
Fourteen hundred and seventy-one participants from more than thirty countries answered at least one question of the EAS. The survey was given in both German and English. Sixty four percent of 985 participants reported memories of incest and 48% of 977 participants reported memories of extreme abuse before they sought therapy. Sixty nine percent of 257 respondents that reported secret mind control experiments on them when they were children also reported that they were abused in a cult.[2]
Of 1007 participants in the EAS, 65% stated that they had been diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. Higher percentages were found in the C-EAS and the P-EAS. High percentages of physical abuse, sexual abuse from multiple perpetrators and child pornography were found in all three surveys. In the C-EAS, medical evidence consistent with extreme abuse was found in 53% of 80 respondents, psychological symptoms consistent with extreme abuse were found in 91% of the 88 respondents and the symptoms abated when the child was able to tell about the abuse in 78 respondents[1].
Background
Wanda Karriker is a retired psychologist in the United States. She was interviewed on Court TV as an expert in Extreme Abuse. She wrote about the after-effects of extreme abuse in her novel “ Morning, Come Quickly.” Carol Rutz is a healed extreme abuse/mind control survivor in the United States. She wrote “A Nation Betrayed: The Chilling True Story of Secret Cold War Experiments Performed on Our Children and Other Innocent People (2001). Thorsten Becker is a social worker and freelance supervisor in Germany. He was a case consultant in several suspected cult-related cases in Europe. In 1994, he received the “German Child Protection Award” for his team’s work with severely abused children.[1]
Investigations
It is important to note that judicial investigations have sometimes found the evidence of abuse to be lacking.
English judge Lord Elizabeth Butler-Sloss conducted an inquiry into a Cleveland child abuse case of 1987. Paediatricians at Cleveland Hospital were persuaded that a reflex response to tickling the anus was an infallible sign that anal intercourse had taken place. Two doctors tickled every child brought into the casualty department and the reflex occurred in about half of them. Their conclusion was that buggering small children was a very widespread pastime and their suspicions led to 121 children being seized over a period of weeks.
The inquiry judge concluded that the pediatricians had "acted properly" and her report supported the manner in which they had applied the now discredited reflex anal dilatation test. This finding contradicted the decision of the child protection judges involved at Cleveland, who had stated that the test was "controversial" and had ordered 96 of the children returned to their families. In a few cases, the children were never returned. Some returned children have complained of the traumatic effect the alleged sexual abuse of the doctors had on their childhood and frustration that this behaviour has never been subject to a criminal investigation.

Not to be confused with Satanic Abuse
Satanic abuse is a different matter fully investigated in the UK after a series of well-publicised cases and prosecutions in 1990 and 1991. Some social workers suffered criticism and at least one director of a Social Services Department was forced into resignation.
