Martensville satanic sex scandal

Okay kiddo, so a long time ago in a place called Martensville, some adults were accused of doing bad things to kids. They were accused of hurting the kids and making them do things they didn't want to do. It was called a "satanic sex scandal" because people thought the adults were doing these bad things as part of a group that worshiped the devil.

The kids and their families were very upset and scared, so they told the police what had happened. The police investigated and some people were charged with the bad things they did to the kids.

It was a very sad and scary time for everyone involved. We want to make sure that everyone is safe and protected, especially kids. Always tell a grown-up if you ever feel scared or uncomfortable around someone.
