What a tragedy

[Indy51]

What on earth were those parents thinking?

What sort of a scumbag would take advantage of people's desperation like this?

Still, it's hard to believe anyone would expose their child to such quackery.

How stupid can some people be?

Unbelievable : ( What a tragic and unnecessary death.

I suppose desperate people are taken in by 'healers'. I complained to my local authority about a 'faith healer' who was due to perform ( and it IS a performance) locally. He claimed to cure cancer, diabetes and make people walk again. I wish there were laws preventing charlatans from doing things like this.

Poor little boy : (

Shocking beyond words.

Yep, they should be held accountable for that. Disgraceful on EVERY front.

Apologies to anyone who was offended.
This post was not appropriate to this thread and I have self-moderated it away.

The issue isn't so much the slapping, stupid and shocking as it is, but the fact a little boy has died.

Not only was there this awful slapping of the little boy ( a week long too) but the child may have come off of insulin too? He may of been fasting for three days ? if so no wonder he died, poor child, I hope the person who did this to the child gets charged with manslaughter yet he was allowed to flee the country?

lost for words...this is a disgrace

 

[Jaylee]

This is nuts... Reminds me of some of the "exorcism" stories where an illness is deemed as demonic possession.

 

[Heathenlass]

Good gods ! What kind of parent could let their child be abused until he was bruised for a whole week, in the name of a " cure " ? Perhaps the same "therapy" would " cure" stupidity ?

Signy
