Religious ritual or abuse? Police investigate cuts on 4-year-old girl
Monday, Feb. 6, 2012 By Mike Petchenik
ROSWELL, Ga.

Roswell Police are investigating if lacerations on a 4-year-old girl's
chest are linked to a religious ritual or child abuse. Last week, the
director of Children's First Learning on Elkins Road called police
after finding the cuts on the child, a police report said. The girl's
parents told police that the cuts were part of a religious ritual.
Channel 2's Mike Petchenik went to the girl's apartment off Greenhouse
Drive and talked to a woman who said she actually witnessed the ritual
that she contends is part of the Santeria religion.
