Yes, it's true. They are still having witch hunts today. And, omg, I like to die when I read this. I could feel my heart being wrenched from my chest. These people are sick.

I think that regardless of people's religion, theological beliefs, or lack there of, children should never, ever be treated in such a way. The article cites the rise of Evangelical Christianity with the purging of those who practice "witchcraft", and/or those who are perceived as such. I think that's poppycock IMO, and there's more than meets the eye here, but we aren't told what exactly is going on.

My thoughts are with those children who have suffered, and who continue to suffer hug.gif
