9-year old girl hearing voices of the Devil.
July 14, 2016 at 10:56 pm
I can't reveal any specifics, but based upon first-hand information, I know of a 9-year old girl from a fundamental Christian household who is hearing voices from "the Devil" which are telling her to kill herself.

How pathetic and sad!  And, are the parents of this little girl telling her that the Devil is all a bunch of bullshit, and that the "voices" in her head are due to her brain not working right, that is, due to mental illness?  No!  Instead, they are asking for "prayers".

This just makes me sick to my stomach.

Poor kid.

Ding dong parents and a kid with a serious problem is a bad combo.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I just hope that this does not turn into another Andrea Yates-type scenario.  No doubt this shit is taking place across the country (USA), though.

That's what happens when you fill a young child's head with bullshit.
This goes back to the other thread.

What if the parents are evil and don't want the child?
Is this another way of getting away with murder?
Another reason why religions shouldn't exist.

Can you make an anon call to Children and Youth or Child Protective Services? If she's suicidal, they can remove her from her parents care and get her the help she needs.

Yes, OP, you need to do this. Command hallucinations are a medical emergency.

Let's just hope the parents are thrown into jail if anything does happen to the kid. Normally I would suggest a 9mm to the back of the head, but that's too good for them.

I agree.

God damn. This is something that always concerns me. The things religious people say are going on in their head sound so similar to the symptoms of actual mental illness. So how do you tell the difference? In this case, the kid is quite probably mentally ill and hearing voices, and her fucking indoctrination is making her think it's the devil.

She needs to see a medical professional right away.
