Ya gotta have faith

From Pharyngula:

What happened to Javon, Ms. Ramkissoon's little boy, in 2005 is what has me so disturbed. The ONE year old child was denied food and water for two days because he wouldn't say "Amen" after finishing his meals. This outrageous punishment killed him, and none of his caretakers intervened to save him. Police say that the group viewed this child as a demon, and that they left his lifeless body in a backroom of their apartment for more than a week while they simply prayed to god to raise Javon from the dead. Instead, the boy's body began to decompose and no resurrection occurred, obviously.


Reportedly, after the cult members accepted that Javon would not be resurrected they stuffed his body in a suitcase. His mother lovingly added mothballs and fabric softener to the contents of the suitcase, and occasionally sprayed some disinfectant inside. The case, with the child's body still inside, was found earlier this year, after it had been stored behind a home in Philadelphia when the cult relocated to New York City, over a year earlier.
