this is an awful story, but it was not that long ago really when a similar thing was happening here throughout Europe because parents thought their childs body had been taken over by fairies = changelings.

Here is another mother who had been brainwashed:

Pastor, wife accused of killing 'possessed' children

A pastor and his wife are in custody accused of killing three of their children by starving them to ward off evil spirits, police in South Korea said Wednesday.

The couple told police the children - aged nine, seven and three - had been ill, which they believed was a sign they were invaded by evil spirits after eating too much on Lunar New Year.

They then cut the children's hair to chase the spirits out and starved them from January 24 until February 2, only allowing them to drink water. Local media reports said the parents had beaten the children with a belt and a fly swatter numerous times.

The pastor, named only by his surname Park, and his wife, Cho, told police they tied the children's arms and legs with stockings. All three died on February 2, the first around 2am, the second at 5am and the third at 7am, according to police in the town of Boseong, more than 186 miles (300 kilometers) south of Seoul.

insane. Sad.

Dang. That's just horrible.

I wonder if he just "pretends" to burn them alive through some easy magic, and sells the baby(s) on the black market.

Not in this case. The babys remains were found on the coals.
