We the undersigned are outraged to hear about your churches labeling children as witches. Unfortunately many of the children are starved, tortured, abandoned and even killed because their parents and the communities are afraid. The rest of humanity finds that this is evil and totally shameful. Please stop these shameful activities.
l do plead with you and your churches to stop the endangering of these innocent children, they are not evil, they are normal children and they have rights. If this doesn't stop soon Nigeria will no longer have a future and the world will have missed the gifts that these children will have gave to us all. Please investigate your churches and make sure that they are not doing harm to any children.

I find it absolutely outrageous that churches who are supposed to be doing Gods' work & teaching Jesus Christ's words of love, forgiveness acceptance of others & especially His love of children are torturing & killing children. This must stop!!

As a mother, I cannot understand how any parent can inflict pain, abuse or torture any living thing that is so helpless. If this is the consequence of Christianity and religous teaching; then, we (Western civilization) must hold ourselves indirectly responsible.

I am absolutely horrified by what is being done to these innocent children in the so called name of God. My daughter is a missionary in Africa,and it is terrible to see how the churches have infiltrated the villages and how the message has been so corrupted. These missionaries have so much to answer for.

Matt.19:14-Jesus said,"Do not hinder the children come unto me for the kingdom of God belongs to them"Matt.18:2-6"Unless you become like these little children,you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. And whoever causes one of My little ones to stumble,better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to drown in the sea."Check your Bible and learn the truth of Jesus. It was those who thought themselves holy,that they knew it all and brought pain and suffering to the elderly and the children,they were the "Spawn of Satan" in Jesus eyes!How dare you judge one another when there is only ONE true Judge. The words of men are lies...read His Holy Word and you will be free of this Sin against the children. How dare you blame the effects of the whole worlds sins on the most innocent ones of us all? The ones who Jesus says Own the Kingdom of God because of His love for them! This is evil in it's truest form,to hurt the widows and children. Set those people free with the truth before it's too late for your repentance.His coming is soon.And He comes not as a lamb but as a Lion to Conquer and to Judge!
To white mans governments-this is what happens when you decide who should see progress and who should continue to live in the ways of the past. Why? To save your eco-tourism dollars? Education,exposure to true progress,clean water,good food descent housing and a choice of how they wish to live not some "entity" playing God deciding what's best for them.

You can count on my prayers!

It's appalling, disturbing and evil that these children are abused in this way. It concerns me that those who claim to serve Jesus are operating in a way that serves evil. It is totally contradictory to the teachings and actions of Jesus. They are in devastating error and leading countless others astray... their actions demonstrate a complete lack of godliness, kindness and love (2 Pet 1:7). Helen, when interviewed was attacking and defensive, yet God's word teaches leaders to... Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock... (1 Pet 5:2-3) and All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble." (1 Pet 5:5)
I'm concerned that many of these so-called church leaders are under deception and evil is having it's day, while children - human beings - are abused because of a fear of spirits and a poor understanding and knowledge of Jesus Christ (2 Pet 1:8).

I am a daughter of a Pentecostal priest, now in my fiftys, I too, as a child, went through beatings and chanting, not for witch craft but to drive deamons out of me.
Yet my suffering was nothing compared to what these children have been through.
Do you have any idea what it is like for a child to go to sleep at night, with the knowledge that she may die during the night and burn in hell forever.
This is the teaching of this Pentecostal Cult. It is total FEAR control. There is no compassion or love.
This Satan calling her self Helen Ukpabio is part of this same Pentecostal cult. Yes it is a cult. How many years have Christians gotten away with murder.
Please people wake up ! This is 2009 and children are still being tortured and murdered for witch craft.
Any scam i have ever received has come from Nigeria, she is just one more. People power can change things.

These children need to be loved and nurtured, not mistreated like this. Even worse those who like to call themselves "christian" in the Pentecostal movement are encouraging this! The children should be loved and nurtured, the perpetrators and accusers are the ones who need to be macheted, burnt, nailed in the head etc not the innocents. They are behaving disgustingly, and not even an animal would treat their offspring like this.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is one of love and of total respect for the individual. Jesus Christ spoke about those that harmed little children and that it would be better for the abusers to have a millstone bound around their neck and that they be cast into the sea. That was how strongly He felt about those that abused children. So be warned again. I urge all people the world over to turn from your misguided interpretations, repent and seek counsel and wisdom from the one true God. You have every opportunity and power to be servants of good than to entice fear and hatred. I will pray for you.

I am a christian who watched this story last night on SBS here in Australia. I was glued to the TV and felt the need to pray for these kids this morning. I believe witchcraft is not of God and I also believe we do not need to fear them just pray and love them. How could parents abandon their children in this way. That is sinful.........
