Police say they broke up QAnon plot to kidnap a child in Denver's suburbs. An arrest affidavit outlines a plan for a QAnon "raid" to seize the child from what believers think is a Satanic pedophilia cabal of Democratic politicians and Hollywood stars. #9NEWS #copolitics
The child being targeted is in the child protective services system. The child's non-custodial mother, Cynthia Abcug, was arrested in Montana last week on kidnapping and conspiracy charges.
An arrest affidavit says Abcug was living in Parker with a man she identified as a QAnon "sniper" and had told someone that she expected there would be injuries when QAnon believers carried out the "raid" to seize the child. 
Abcug said child was with "evil Satan worshippers" and "pedophiles," according to an arrest affidavit. QAnon is a conspiracy theory that claims President Donald Trump is engaged in a secret war against a global child trafficking ring of prominent Democrats and celebrities.
Parker Police say the FBI has "identified QAnon-driven extremists as a domestic terrorism threat, the first time a fringe conspiracy theory has been labelled as such." Parker PD says the FBI memo points to previously undisclosed QAnon arrests.
Abcug's supporters had previously reached out to President Trump and his family for help in the custody case.
Abcug is out on bond and due to appear in court in February. Our attempts to reach her have been unsuccessful.
A Twitter account attributed to Abcug posted this on Jan 1, two days after her arrest (she posted bond). Abcug has not responded to our requests for comment.
A few people have asked why Abcug's child was removed from her home. An arrest affidavit says she was suspected of "Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another and Medical Child Abuse."
And here come the QAnon folks to suggest that journalists reporting on the story are also pedophiles. If you're familiar with the logic of QAnon, if it can be called that, this is how it works.
