DYNAMICS OF CASES.



          What are "these kinds of cases"? They were and continue to be 

          difficult to define. They all involve allegations of what sounds 

          like child sexual abuse, but with a combination of some atypical 

          dynamics. These cases seem to have the following four dynamics in 

          common: (1) multiple young victims, (2) multiple offenders, (3) fear 

          as the controlling tactic, and (4) bizarre or ritualistic activity.
