“The Devil Goes to Day Care” describes the
moral panic that happened in the 1980s
following an accusation of ritual satanic abuse
at a day care. The author states that the
tension between the family sphere and the
market economy made the local day care
center a target of conflict, which boiled over
after Judy Johnson accused Raymond Buckey
of abusing her son. You are going to identify
another case of moral panic and consider how
people learned of it and how people promoted
it. How did that moral panic differ from the
Satanic panic of the 1980s? How was media
different? Was It pure propaganda? Would
more ethos and logos in contemporary
journalism have stopped the panic? Were
economic conditions and social tensions
similar? Were other conditions significant?
