Two Massachusetts women are facing multiple charges after they allegedly
tied down and burned a 5-year-old girl in a voodoo ritual.

The girl, whose name has not been released, is permanently disfigured as a
result of a ritual that was meant to “rid her of a demon that was making
her misbehave,” the Brockton Enterprise reported.

The two East Bridgewater women, identified as Peggy LaBossiere, 51, and
Rachel Hilaire, 40, allegedly blew fire over the young girl’s face and cut
her arm and collar area with a needlelike object, drawing blood, the
girl’s 8-year-old brother told police. The women, who are sisters,
according to the Brockton Enterprise, also allegedly poured a substance
over the girl’s eyes which caused them to sting.

Additionally, the women allegedly threatened to cut off the younb
brother's head with a machete.

The ritual was requested by the girl’s mother, who is of Haitian descent
and was LaBossiere’s hair stylist. She has not been charged but is
receiving mental health treatment.

The two women pleaded not guilty on Jan. 29 to the charges against them,
which include mayhem, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault
and battery on a child with injury, indecent assault and battery on a
child under the age of 14, and threatening to commit a crime, according to
the paper.

They also denied injuring the girl and threatening her brother.

The sisters will be back in Brockton Superior Court on Wednesday for a
hearing to determine whether they're too dangerous to be released.

The sisters told police that they have performed "cleansing baths" for
family and friends in the past, something that involves chanting prayers,
rubbing frankincense and eucalyptus oils and sea salt on their bodies, and
burning myrrh, the newspaper reported. Children sometimes get burned as
spirits leave the body, they said.

The girl suffered a third-degree burn across her face that will leave her
permanently disfigured, police said. She was treated at a hospital and
taken into custody by state welfare authorities, along with her brother,
who described to police what happened at the sisters' house over multiple
days.

Voodoo refers to religious practices developed centuries ago by enslaved
Africans in the Caribbean, primarily in Haiti, where the practices are
sometimes spelled "vodou."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
