It is beyond comprehension how someone could allow themselves to become so brainwashed and superstitious that they would kill their own child! A massive education effort is needed to undo this barbaric torture and betrayal of children in Nigeria and elsewhere!

These senseless murders and attrocities are unimaginable and yet I watched with my own eyes. As an American I can hardly believe that parents who are suppose to love and care for their children would kill, mangle, and torture them. The propetiers who finance off of this, the parents who condon and believe their children for witches, and Helen Ukpabio deserve torturous pain and then a lifetime in prision.

It makes me sick. The mistreatment, the abuse, the most cruel actions bestowed upon the children of Nigeria. I'm a child myself and this makes me stop, clench my fists and scream curse words at the television and computer screen. It's disturbing and we need it to be stopped. How inhumane can one person be to another? Especially to a child!

I have never seen anything as disturbing as this in my entire life!!! May God send his angels to watch over those precious children, may he go into those villages and change the lives of all those parents and families who believe in this nonsense. May he remove those people who call themselves 'pastors' preaching this outrageous message and may they rot in hell!

THIS IS A DISGRACE! This is the most ignorant, blasphemous, life-hating and grotesquely insane "Christianity" that one could possible espouse - and no doubt these evil child-torturing and child-murdering cretins are receiving donations from naive and irresponsible "Christians" right here in my own country, the USA!

What a poor testimony to Christianity. There is absolutley no sign of the love of Christ being demonstrated in the horrible ungodly treatment of these innocent children. Any honest Christian would be truly ashamed to be associated in any way with such behaviour, people should abandon these churches in droves. Leave these Pastors to their own devices on their own with no people.

An embarassment of ignorance. A dictionary definition of man's inhumanity to man. A testament to the low vibration of foreign culture and so-called religion poured down the throats of people in the absconded name of holiness. Shame! on the barbarians who lit this match.

The Christian church does not believe in "witchcraft". There are no witches in the world and you are hurting innocent children and destroying families.

# 1,953:

10:04 am PDT, Aug 21, Sarah Dye, Australia
I'm outraged at your so called teachings of child witches shame on you and your so called christian teaching - all in the name of Jesus Christ - SHAME!Where is the love, forgiveness and compassion! Our children are so precious they deserve to be protected and safe - what hope do they have - we need to ensure all children are loved and protected.

This is so absurd. The fact that this woman was inducted to a cult at age14 and even being deliveredat 17, does not give her the right to use this innocent children to portray the coven of witchcraft. She is invoking the demonic spirit into this children's life by re-enacting the ceremonies or whatever they call it, and thinking she is impressing the world and creating awareness of what goes on in the satanic world. While we are praying and covering our children from the destruction of evil, this woman is exposing and reincarnating the evil powers back into the family, church and society. Just a spirit of deception. She should be stopped. This is not a good illustrative sermon of demonic powers. This sessions are also used in her movies which is drawing people to watch. The fact is by rplaying and acting this sorcery, people are inviting this evil forces into their lives while dumping all their monies into the cult purse, enriching them.. Someone should do something about this.
