THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SATANIC CULT INVOLVEMENT: AN ...

15. It happened so fast. I remember picking
the knife up, turning the corner, going into the
bedroom. I remember just a split-second of it
going in, and then all of a sudden I didn't
remember anything. I was back in my room.
15. Although B recalls entering his parents'
room with the knife, and returning to his
room afterwards, he remembers little of the
actual stabbing.
16. Then I went back into the room and saw
him laying across his bed He was trying to get
across the room. And I remember his hand ...
this disfigured body moving around. The knife
was still in him.
16. On returning to his parents' room B saw
his father, disfigured by his injury, the knife
protruding from his body.
17. A little newsclip like this came out in the
newspaper about what I'd done to my daddy ...
mom kept it for years till she died. I guess my
stabbing him brought us closer together.
17. Until her death B's mother kept a
newspaper clipping about B's assault on his
father.
18. He almost died, and at the hospital the
police came ... it was an attempted murder type
thing ... in the hospital they rolled him by, and
as they rolled him by I laughed, I laughed out
loud
18. Although his father nearly died, and the
incident was investigated as attempted
murder, B laughed out loud when his injured
father was wheeled past him.
19. The cop heard me and came over and said
to me, "IfI see you laugh again I'll not only put
you in that jail, but throw you under it. I'm
going to make sure you serve time".
19. The investigating police officer, angered
by B's laughter, threatened him with a jail
sentence.
20. Then they sent me to jail, at the age of 14,
but all I saw myself doing was protecting my
mother. Ifmy mother hadn't cried out I would
never have gone in there.
20. Although detained by the police, B felt
his actions were justified by his motive to
protect his mother when she cried out to
him.
21. Now I'm 45, but I remember what happened
there, sitting in that station at the age of 14.
She (police officer) looks at me and says, "You
look like one ofthose kids who would stab their
21. B clearly recalls a police officer telling
him that he looked like the type ofchild who
would stab his father.
