The woman, Aracely Meza, whom Texas incorporation records list as the secretary of Congregacional Pueblo de Dios in the town of Balch Springs, was charged with injury to a child by omission, police told NBCDFW. The station reported that Meza was not the child's mother.
According to a request for a search warrant filed March 26, Balch Springs police got an anonymous tip the same day that a child had died at the church on March 21 or 22 without anybody's having reported it.
A witness described only as someone living at the church building told investigators that a "rising ceremony" was held March 22 "to attempt to resurrect Victim from the dead." When that failed, the child was wrapped in a blanket and "taken back to Mexico," according to the search warrant request.
As troubling as that is it is not the worst part.
This according to Raw Story:
A woman who knew the boy’s mother said pastors believed the child was possessed by demons, and she said the boy went 25 days without food before he died.
Raw Story also has video of a news report with footage of the attempted resurrection.
It is highly disturbing and demonstrates the kind of bizarre mindset that comes from a fervent belief in superstitious nonsense.
These people killed this child, and they did because they grew up around and were deeply affected by primitive bullshit.
