Read this and be prepared to feel the overtures of disgust swathe upon you.

How? Just how? My faith in humanity is truly waning.

Its appauling that this kind of abuse happens still, that poor girl is gonna be so traumatised for the rest of her life. People like that don't deserve to go to prison, they should be put in 'no limits' stocks, where people can do whatever they want to them, and they're just left to rot, fucking scum!

I like the idea of putting these bastards in stocks - maybe they could experience how it feels to have chili peppers rubbed in their eyes.

Yea, an eye for an eye etc. See how they like to experience abject misery.

Don't hijack this thread, ballbag. He isn't talking shit to anybody, he's commenting on how stupid those so-called adults are for letting religious beliefs lead them to believe that one of their loved ones is possessed by a demon and as a result of trying to drive the demon out, torturing said loved one. The loved one in question is an 8 year old girl.

Ian's right; it is fucking stupid.

Heh...this is very common here in the states.
We hear stories like this often. Mostly demon possesion....the Witch aspect was a twist.

This is no surprise to me...followers of a religion where even the most horrible sin is instantly forgiven and all based on a book that has been twisted so many times and has zero credit....yes....this doent shock me at all.

Execute them. Fuck it.

i already feel nauseous looking at it . i dont know how long i can take this

It doesn't even say it was religion based, but if they were from Angola it's hard to say why they did it. It's truely sad that there are people who still do things like this, but if they think they're doing right they will continue until they learn otherwise. In a lot of places children have no rights and are nothing more than property. This child was an orphan --like I was.

The report on BBC news this evening carried undertones of religion and I believe the reporter's final summation was, "...all for the sake of religious beliefs."

I knew someone who used to hit their child with a "rod" because of their interpretation of "spare the rod and spoil the child." It was because of the way the church taught. Had I worked at Children's Services and known what I know now I would have said something to the people and if that wasn't enough, reported the church.
A woman seperated from her husband and was awarded custody recently because she feared for her life and her kids' lives. She was knifed to death the night before she was due to leave the state. The church had allegations against it for 5 fucking years and nothing could be done about the abuse and sexual misconduct because it couldn't be proven. It's about 5 miles from me!!

Please, please, please, if you know of any child being abused or acting something other than normal talk to someone about it. The only way it can be stopped is re-education or removal from the problem. Learn about some of the warning signs. If the child manages to grow up thinking those things are normal behavior they will continue the behavior.
