Television dramas, talk shows, and newsmagazine programs have brought the more sensational elements of this social phenomenon into everyone's living room. Meanwhile, false accusations of abuse have devastated the lives of many people -- from modest elderly couples to the late spiritual leader of Midwest Catholics, Joseph Cardinal Barnardin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Reinder Van Til's \u003ci\u003eLost Daughters\u003c\/i\u003e movingly depicts the human toll exacted by the widespread belief in RMT. First-person stories, the first of which is Van Til's own personal narrative, portray families devastated by daughters' RMT-inspired memories of childhood sexual abuse and their subsequent accusations of fathers and mothers.
