2008 Emmy Award-winning Dispatches story of an estimated 15,000 children in Africa’s Niger Delta being denounced by Christian pastors as witches and wizards and then killed, tortured or abandoned by their own families. Two-and-a-half-year-old Ellin is one such child. Found at the side of the road, her body having been severely burnt with boiling water. Nwanakwo, eight years old, had acid poured over him after being labeled a wizard, and later died. Return to Africa’s Witch Children is a documentary that follows the work of Gary Foxcroft, an Englishman whose charity, Stepping Stones, raises funds to help care for more than 150 children accused of witchcraft, and blamed for catastrophes, death and famine. Narrated by Sophie Okonedo.

A very informative doc on how terribly bad Nigerian children are treated if they are suspected of being witches or wizards. I have to say that seeing the work that is being done to help shelter these children is very touching.
God has the blood of hundreds of children on his hand. This is why I’m an atheist.
You mean Christians have tons of blood on their hand. If your an atheist you dont believe in god- you arent “against” him.
God gave us a free will. It is easy to blame a God for something that humans or sometimes also called “animals” are doing to each other. Free will is a powerful thing that can have a terrible consequences. Just remember that Einstein told the world trough the mathematical formula that energy cannot be destroyed, so after death comes for us a new life will begin!
