Amongst the more distressing incidents to have hit the British headlines in the twenty-first century have been a number of revelations concerning the treatment of children who, having been accused of being possessed by demonic powers, have been ‘appropriately treated’ in such a way that they have ended up either severely injured or dead. This book is an attempt to address some of the issues surrounding such tragedies and to place these in a wider context than that available in the more sensationalist media.
