Freda Briggs was a formidable champion for children around the world.
Freda Briggs Wiki
The Professor was a highly accomplished academic with significant practical experience in child protection and the public institutions responsible. She was recognised and consulted as an expert by all levels of government in Australia. The 'AO' at the end of the late Professor's name stands for Officer of the Order of Australia, which is the second highest award for distinguished public service in Australia. She was the inaugural winner of the Australian Humanitarian Award in 1998. In 2000, she was named the Senior Australian of the Year.
Professor Briggs recognised the 'Satanic Panic' meme as malicious disinformation. She had both the courage and the standing to challenge the conventional wisdom. She endorsed the findings in this paper, which compiled confirmed cases of ritual abuse and other reliable source material from Australia and around the world. Her foreword was co-written by another esteemed clinical psychologist. This is a serious report from credible sources that cannot be simply dismissed.
REPEAT AFTER ME
Ritual abuse of children is not comically preposterous.
Ritual abuse of children is not a 'conspiracy theory', without any foundation in fact.
Ritual abuse is neither 'fake' nor 'new'.
Anyone who insists otherwise should be asked what they know about Professor Freda Briggs and pointed in the direction of this paper.
The Professor died in April of this year. If she were still alive I have no doubt that she would be at the frontline of decent, respectable people now calling for a stringent, objective and comprehensive review of the facts of this case.
Nothing less will serve the paramount interest of humanity in protecting the welfare and safety of children around the world.
It looks to me like Briggs endorsed the paper, rather than was one of the authors. That said, people need to be aware that an Emeritus Professorship is a VERY top academic position. Basically, as high as you can go up the academic ladder.
That's correct. The authors aren't identified. The endorsement in the foreword by Professor Briggs and Dr O'Neill indicates that they assessed the source material and one would expect nothing less.
