STEEP RISE IN IMMIGRANT ‘WITCHCRAFT’ AND ‘EXORCISM’ RELATED CHILD ABUSE

Breitbart London: The number of quasi-religious “witchcraft” and exorcism related child abuse cases has nearly triple in just three years. The phenomenon of children being accused of “possession” and “witchcraft” is most commonly seen in West African and South Asian immigrant communities.

In one such incident a nine-year-old boy was dubbed a “devil child” and left on the streets alone with no shoes by his own parents. Another mother bit her son’s face because she was convinced he was “possessed.”

The Metropolitan Police’s specialist faith-based abuse team, known as Project Violet, has identified 60 incidents so far this year.

This is up from 23 in 2013 and 46 in 2014, according to figures obtained by the BBC under a Freedom of Information request. However, half of all police forces and local authorities did not record such data despite being required to. more here
