Girl, 6, 'left to burn in Voodoo ritual'*

A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl was sent to bed with life-threatening burns to 25
per cent of her body after a Voodoo ritual, a New York court has heard.
Prosecutors say the girl’s mother, Marie Lauradin, made her daughter
stand naked in a ring of fire while she poured a flammable liquid over
her body.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said the girl was “engulfed in
flames” intended to drive evil spirits out of her body.
The ritual was a Haitian Voodoo ritual known as ‘Loa’, which involved
spraying a circle of rum on the floor around the girl, as well as on her
head, and lighting it.
The fire was put out with water and Ms Lauradin and the girl’s
grandmother put her to bed.
She was only taken to hospital a day later after a relative begged her
mother to do so, the court was told.
She suffered first- and third-degree burns to her face, legs and torso
and was put into a coma for treatment. She has since been placed in
foster care.
Her mother denies the allegations and is facing assault and child
endangerment charges.
She faces seven years in jail if convicted.
