WitchChildren: From Salem WitchHunts to Modern Courtrooms,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The period of persecution and execution of socalled witches stands as a venomous chapter of Western civilization. The participation of small children and adolescents, whether as the accused or as the accusers, was pivotal. It linked the power of the inquisitor to the fates of many unsuspecting men and women people who often became hapless victims, devoured by a ravenous inquisition that stretched across two continents.Dr. Hans Sebald maintains that the classic 'Salem syndrome' is anything but past history; it is frequently reenacted in the modern courtroom. We observe children as they accuse others of molesting or seducing them within a public mindset that is predisposed to believe them. Why would they lie? A mythomaniacal child one who has not yet fully recognized the contours of reality is in a position to wreak havoc on the lives of innocent persons. And it matters little whether the authorities are judges, juries, inquisitors of centuries past, or counselors and therapists of more recent vintage.
