Why is child abuse tied to witchcraft on the rise? | The Guardian Except — I wonder how many people find this headline confusing or disturbing — the people abusing children here aren’t witches. They are christians. “The pastor will say: ‘No matter what your problems, I can solve them by protecting you against the evil forces of witchcraft’.

They exploit the vulnerability of the families.” Via @catvincent.
