I think that If these kids were witches, they should be putting horrible spells on all the adults in the country. Starting with the so called priest or whatever they call them selves. I also think that if the whole " witch thing" is true, the only witches would be the adults. That is the only way I could see somebody being so cruel t a child. Like it isn't bad enough having to live in a aids, starving, poverty stricken country anyway. Then to have your whole family turn you away. That is terrible. When the adults finally get punished for this they should be submitted to the same torture as these precious children, God's children!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

It is unfortunate to report that these innocent children (from ages as young as two years old) are suffering fates far worse than just being cast out...
They are being tortured, and furthermore being made to feel guilty for their acts... These children are being phisically abused, sexually abused and mentaly abused. Whats more is that the goverment is making very little effort to stop these hainous crimes against the countrys youth because they are profiting from it. Churches are popping up all over the republic, designed to "exorcise" these poor children usually by means of sexual abuse, who intern pays property taxes of up to $1000.00 a year. This is an atrocity of an epidemic and must be fought against... for more info about how you can help, please visit...
