Religious ritual or abuse? Police investigate cuts on 4-year-old girl

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.
