Kidnap plotter, 56, who abducted child at knifepoint from 'screaming' foster mother believed social services are ‘infiltrated by Satanists’

Wilfred Wong, 56, who abducted a child at knife point from their 'screaming foster mum' believes social services are 'infiltrated by satanists', it has been revealed

A conspiracy theorist who abducted a child at knife point from their 'screaming foster mum' believes social services are 'infiltrated by satanists', it has been revealed.

Wilfred Wong, 56, made the wild claims in a series of YouTube videos, which were shown at a jury trial at Caernarfon Crown Court last month. 

The bizarre clips have only come to light after reporting restrictions were lifted this week.  

Wong and five co-conspirators will be sentenced in September for their part in a chilling scheme to kidnap the child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, from foster care in North Wales last November.   

In footage played to the court last month, Wong claimed: 'The family court system been infiltrated by Satanists, as well as social services.

'It enables them to turn upside down the system that is supposed to protect children from abuse into something that protects the abuser and penalises the whistleblower, and gives the child back to the abuser's custody.' 

Wong had a website called the 'Coalition Against Satanist Ritual Abuse' and has diehard supporters. 

Wong, of Camden, also bizarrely claimed Satanists use social services to make money, saying: 'Fostering agencies, care agencies, local authorities and so called experts say that the whistle blowing is not fit to care for the child.

'They make tens of thousands of pounds...it's a gravy train.'

He added: 'It has become so clear that the only way to protect a child from is to take the child and flee the country, and hide until the child has grown to adulthood.

'It's the government's fault for allowing the family courts to be corrupted to this extent.'

In a second video, the jury watched Wong make more outlandish claims, claiming: 'I do surveillance on Satanic covens. 

'They like to meet on dates in the Satanic calendar and on the birth dates of their members.'

He told the jury that Satanic Ritual Abuse is a 'much bigger problem than people imagine in the UK', adding: 'Ignorance about this subject is making it easier for SRA to flourish and making it harder for survivors to get support. Many survivors are disbelieved.'

Wong and his five co-conspirators planned to take the child to southern England and then abroad.

Wong was convicted of conspiring to abduct a child and of possessing a bladed article after the child was taken at knifepoint from its 'screaming and hysterical' foster mum as she returned from the school run in Anglesey on November 4.

Janet Stevenson, 67, and Edward Stevenson, 69, both of Parnell Close, Maidenbower, Crawley, West Sussex, were found guilty at their trial of conspiracy to kidnap on July 23.

Anke Hill, 51, of North Wales, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap.

A look out called Jane Claire Going-Hill, 59, of Pump Street, Holyhead, who was arrested in a Honda Jazz car at The Antelope pub in Bangor, pleaded guilty last December to conspiracy to kidnap in the same incident.

Her companion in the car Robert Frith, 65, of Tyn Parc, Holyhead, died in prison last November while on remand for the same charge.

In February this year, another co-accused Kristine Geraldine Ellis-Petley, 58, of Ffordd Tudur, Holyhead, admitted conspiring to kidnap a child.

Karren Natasha Sawford, 48, of North Wales, was cleared of conspiracy to kidnap.  

Wong maintained he travelled by train to Bangor for a short break, to do some walking and enjoy the scenery. 

He said he had arranged a lift back south with husband and wife Edward, 69, and Janet Stevenson, 67, a counsellor, from Crawley, Sussex.

He had slept under a tree and then crossed into Anglesey, he said. Near the Britannia Bridge he claimed he found some apparently dumped items including a knife, mask and cable ties.

According to him, having got into the back of the Stevensons' car, alongside him were two strangers - a woman and child. 'I didn't have any cause for concern,' he remarked.

Police had stopped the car 200 miles away on the M1 in Northants. 

Wong insisted he had been unaware of the kidnapping. 

However the court heard how a man had claimed Wong tried to recruit him in a plan to abduct a child.    

Prior to the pandemic he had been a self-employed fundraiser for a British charity to provide lawyers for sexually abused and exploited Brazilian children. 

He lost his job last July because of the pandemic.
