He tells of his trips across the country, checking out some cases where Satanic ritual or sacrifices allegedly took place, and delves into the psychology of Satan worship. His final conclusion is that if you want to keep your kids from getting into serious trouble (of any kind), then you actually need to do some parenting." #comedy...>>
