Today we chat about the Satanic Panic, focusing on the daycare allegations and the vendetta against Dungeons and Dragons. Please be warned that there is a lot of talk about mental health, suicide, and child abuse allegations. It sadly comes with the territory of talking about the panic of the 70s and 80s. If you or anyone you know needs help please feel free to visit this site for international resources https://unitedgmh.org/support/ Globally we can help those in need of mental resources and make it ok to ask for help when needed without judgement. We also talk about people who are in prison when they are innocent; to help get them back into society please visit: https://innocenceproject.org/
