Yeah, seriously! Not the standard Evangelical church, I'm sure, but pastors there have found a new get rich quick scheme, by calling children witches, their parents then kill them, or pay big bucks to have them 'saved' - and pay more to keep them saved or to prevent their children from being accused. It's a full blown witch scare, aimed at, killing, and maiming children!

Behind the smartly painted doors pastors make a living by 'deliverances' - exorcisms - for people beset by witchcraft, something seen to cause anything from divorce, disease, accidents or job losses. With so many churches it's a competitive market, but by local standards a lucrative one.
But an exploitative situation has now grown into something much more sinister as preachers are turning their attentions to children - naming them as witches. In a maddened state of terror, parents and whole villages turn on the child. They are burnt, poisoned, slashed, chained to trees, buried alive or simply beaten and chased off into the bush.
