David Shurter
Hello, my name is David Shurter and I want to bring further awareness to Ritual Abuse and Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA). My father, way back when I was a child, was a performing high priest in a cult that was practicing in Omaha NE during the 60′s and 70′s, and I built this site in order to investigate the activities that he and his friends were involved with. Much of what I am speaking about also deals with men who were involved in a failed financial institution here in Omaha, NE called the Franklin Credit Union. Drugs, child trafficking, and murder were all a part of this ring, and I wanted to further expose the crimes that were happening here in Omaha. Before my father died, he told people that he had “skeletons in his closet” and that he h

“Don’t tell Mummy”, my memoir of my own childhood abuse, became a UK best seller in 2007. Writing about my experiences was hard emotionally, but in retrospect it has helped me deal with my past and realize that there is no shame in being the victim. It is never the child’s fault, whatever the abuser makes them believe at the time. How can it be? I then wrote a sequel, “When Daddy Comes Home”, which deals with the mental trauma of having a father jailed for incest, return to a home where my mother welcomed him back as if nothing had happened and turned her back on me.

I'm an introvert by nature, which I believe most writers are. We live in the made-up world inside our heads while dodging the reality that exists right outside our doorstep.
As a kid, I didn't know what love was. My parents were two incredibly broken people who didn't know how to raise kids, and didn't bother to learn. I was on a tree branch, swinging all alone. Sure, there were other branches there, and we all grew from the same root ball, but we didn't help one another. If my branch broke, I was going to fall, and I did many times. But, no matter how many times it happened, and how many branches broke, I would climb back up and find another one.
