Flashermac Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 THE INDEPENDENT 25 June 2006 Witchcraft abuse of children 'is rife' in the UK By Francis Elliott, Whitehall Editor Ministers are preparing to publish a "harrowing" report on abuse meted out to African children in Britain branded as witches. The highly sensitive inquiry was ordered after a string of cases in which children were alleged to have been beaten in exorcism rituals. Some suspect that there may have been as many as 50 such cases in London in the past five years, but the exact figures will be revealed in an official report to be published in the next two weeks. It is expected to detail abusive practices, such as slashing with razors, starving and rubbing chilli peppers into children's eyes. Attention focused on witchcraft rituals after the discovery of "Adam", an unknown African boy whose torso was found in the Thames in 2001. A Metropolitan Police investigation found that hundreds of children visiting Britain from Africa could not be accounted for. Publication of the research by Eleanor Stobart was delayed, however, amid fears that it would damage race relations. African church leaders fear the findings will unfairly stigmatise the majority.

David_66_UK Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I guess that now we are POST the age of enlightenment, with the religous nutters on all sides in control we will have to get used to this sort of thing again. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi, "Publication of the research by Eleanor Stobart was delayed, however, amid fears that it would damage race relations." Right, those relations are of course much more important than the lives and well-being of some children Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiLuk Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Britain along with a few other countries has a long history of accusing people of witchcraft. Usually woman who were just a little more independent minded than the church leaders thought advisable. So they burned the woman. Thousands and thousands of them. Hope the brits are done getting hysterical when someone (a 'researcher' in this case) starts tossing around the word "witch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
