The problem is that these children were not abused or drugged.
Go back and read about the McMartin Presschool trial that spiritualwarrior77 cites as an example of a satanic pedophile ring. You'll find that the actual victims are the accused.
IPT Journal - "Learning From the McMartin Hoax" An analysis of the videotapes in the McMartin preschool sex abuse case shows a strong pattern of pressure, coercion and manipulation aimed at getting the children to make statements about abuse. The tapes from this case should be widely studied in that they are the key to understanding how the children could come to sincerely believe things that never happened.
The Longest Trial - A Post-Mortem; Collapse of Child-Abuse Case: So Much Agony for So Little - New York Times The case of the Virginia McMartin Preschool began with lurid news reports of children being raped and sodomized, of dead rabbits, mutilated corpses and a horse killing, and of blood drinking, satanic rituals and the sacrifice of a live baby in a church. Those involved say that much of the evidence was unconvincing from the outset; that there were also mistakes by the prosecution, too many charges, questionable techniques to elicit accusations from the children, inordinate delays by Mr. Buckey's lawyer, Danny Davis, political pressures and public hysteria fanned by gullible initial news reports. The verdict - not guilty on 52 counts, deadlocks on 13 others - enraged many, particularly the children's parents. Even some jurors said that they were not fully convinced of Mr. Buckey's innocence, but that the prosecution had failed to mount sufficient evidence. Others saw a grave miscarriage of justice for Mr. Buckey, who spent five years in jail before raising bail, and his mother, who spent nearly two years in jail and lost the family-owned school in suburban Manhattan Beach.
The McMartin Preschool Abuse Trial: A Commentary The McMartin Preschool Abuse Trial, the longest and most expensive criminal trial in American history, should serve as a cautionary tale. When it was all over, the government had spent seven years and $15 million dollars investigating and prosecuting a case that led to no convictions. More seriously, the McMartin case left in its wake hundreds of emotionally damaged children, as well as ruined careers for members of the McMartin staff. No one paid a bigger price than Ray Buckey, one of the principal defendants in the case, who spent five years in jail awaiting trial for a crime (most people recognize today) he never committed. McMartin juror Brenda Williams said that the trial experience taught her to be more cautious: "I now realize how easily something can be said and misinterpreted and blown out of proportion." Another juror, Mark Bassett, singled out "experts" for blame: "I thought some of the expert testimony about the children told you more about the expert than the child. I mean, if the expert says children are always 100% believable and then you have a child who is not believable, either the expert is extremely biased or they've never seen anything like that child before."
The McMartin Daycare Case — New Chapter - The True Victims — Crime Library on truTV.com In the wave of hysteria during the 1980s, hundreds of people were arrested on the suspicion of child abuse, especially people working in daycare centers. In part, this was thanks to the therapists and investigators involved in the McMartin Preschool fiasco who announced on national talk shows and to Congress that a network of well-financed satanic ritual abusers was operating secretly across the country. Despite the fact that children were being coached, even coerced, to describe outrageous stories for which there was no corroborating physical evidence, and some of their tales bordered on the preposterous, suspected adults were convicted based on this testimony alone.
