Haitian mother sets her 6 year old child on fire to remove evil Spirit

A child's grandmother, Sylvenie Thessier who is 71, is likely to go to prison for watching her grand-daughter being set on fire and not taking any action.

According to a report from New York Daily news, back in June 2009, Marie Lauradin sprayed rum over her child and set her on fire during a voodoo ceremony in Queens Village, in an attempt to clear her from evil spirits. The mother was accused of setting her daughter Frantzcia Saintil on fire.

Now, the grand mother, Sylvenie Thessier will be charged as well for negligence as she was present at the time of the incident and did not do anything to protect the child.

QUESTIONS:

Is this how some Haitian families deal with mental illness?

Do you think that some of our children are possessed by evil spirits?

What are some of the best ways to remove those evel spirits?

Do you think the grandmother should go to prison as well?

I Know many haitian family do not accept the fact that a faamily member can be sick mentally.

They always attribute that illness to Voodoo.

With the Haitian society, noone can die of natural causes.However, if you look at the conditions most of us Haitians are living in, and are a realistic person, you would flip the question and say instead: How come more Haitians are not
