This is nothing new. When I was in Nigeria they executed children for witchcraf on a weekly basis in the viliage I lived in. And in Kenya it is a normal practice to stone albino children because they are thought to be the product of devil worship.

CMON there goes my childhood goddamnit! I had this girl that i went to school with, she used to bark at people and hiss and shit. She said she was possessed by demons and was a witch. She put some weird 'spell' on me after i hit her with a book because she tried to bite me as i walked by. Well whatever it was it didn't work :)
