               More kids seized in devil row
 
THREE more children have been taken into care in the Satanic sex
abuse mysterm.
 
And last night the welfare chief at the centre of the row insisted
claims of abuse were genuine.
 
The three youngster - all from one family - joined 17 others, aged
three to 12, previously taken into care in Rochdale, Greater
Manchester.
 
The swoops followed a six-year-old boy's stories of devil worship.
 
Police who investigated found no evidence to back them up.
 
But Gordon Littlemore, Rochdale social services director, said they
were dealing with "emotional abuse, degradation and humuliation" that
left no physicial injuries.
 
Parents have been banned from visiting their children for fear they
may try to silence them with secret Satanic signs.
