I remember that there's a story somewhere here, where a girl was forced to undergo a rebirth. She was wrapped in a sheet and a couple of adults sat on her, so she could experience what it was like to be "reborn". She died.
These things make me so sick. Children should be protected by us, they didn't choose to be born and the only thing we can do as adults is to make sure they grow into healthy, responsible, loving and caring human beings.

I totally agree with you! These acts of abuse and so-called "Therapy" is nothing more than pure EVIL!!!........................................
***************The little girl you are referring to, I believe, is Candace Newmaker. She was 10 years old, and murdered during a "re-birthing". There is already a post on DR about her, which is why I dont have her included in this thread...but the whole story is interesting, but very very sad...here is the link to the other post!

Give me 5 minutes with any of these fucking 'parents'

according to the probable cause affidavit, is what became of Christian:

Born in 1995, he lived with his mother until, in 2005, the father received custody of both Christian and an older sister. They moved in with Riley Choate and Kimberly Kubina on a residential block in Merrillville, Indiana. Several other children lived in the house.
Christian was said to be in good health when he arrived, although, according to what family members told investigators, he said he missed his mother and wanted to live with her. The boy began to be punished almost immediately, and was regularly locked in a room in the basement. But when the family moved to a mobile home in a different part of Lake County things got markedly worse.


Christian was made to live inside a used metal dog cage. He allegedly was repeatedly struck and kicked by both his father and stepmother. When Christian tried to escape from the dog cage, his father reportedly secured it with seven locks. The keys were kept near the father's computer, where he was said to enjoy playing video games about racing while his son struggled in the cage.


Christian's sister, according to the affidavit, was ordered to take care of the boy. She was instructed to feed him, unlock the cage and take him to the bathroom, force him to do exercises, and physically punish him for failing to follow orders. Police believe that anyone from outside the house who ever asked about Christian was told that he was being home-schooled.


Sometimes Christian's hands were chained to the top of the cage; during one such occasion, according to the affidavit, he was crying, so his stepmother, as additional punishment, spray-painted his chained hands black. His health had started to deteriorate, and he had begun to soil himself, so he was kept naked except for a diaper. The only baths he was permitted were with ice-cold water, which made him scream.
One punishment was to take him out of the cage and chain him by his hands and feet to an upright bed frame. His feet became numb, and it became difficult for him to stand. Food began to be denied him; when some of the children tried to sneak him food in his cage, according to the affidavit, Kimberly Kubina yelled and told them, "He needs to be locked up. He's a dog."


The children were reportedly warned that if they told anyone about Christian, they would receive the same punishment. He learned to try to be quiet during his beatings, because if he cried out they would become even more brutal. In April of 2009, according to the affidavit, after Christian was too ill to eat, his father "punched him with full force several times in the front, side and back of his head before throwing him back in the cage."
On the day that month he did not wake up, prosecutors allege, he was wrapped in black plastic garbage bags. His father and stepmother, according to the affidavit, drove to a wooded area, placed a Bible on his chest, covered him with quick-drying cement, and buried him in a shallow grave.


That was two years ago. They never reported him missing; their story about him, in case anyone asked, was that he had run away. But not many people asked, because not many people knew he existed. The other children in the home were threatened with severe punishment if they ever said anything.


The biological mother? She told investigators she had not been allowed to see Christian or his sister since their father gained custody in 2005. Did she not make any effort to check on their well-being? The answer may emerge at the murder trial.


It was the biological mother who, this spring, told police she suspected something bad had happened to Christian. Riley Choate eventually led detectives to the burial place where, on May 4, they found his body, with the Bible on his chest. The coroner's office determined he had died from blunt force trauma, with internal bleeding and a skull fracture.
The charges against Choate and Kubina include murder, battery, neglect of a dependent and criminal confinement.

***UPDATE AS OF JULY 6, 2011***
A judge in Lake County, Indiana has denied a defense request for a new autopsy in the death of Christian Choate, a boy who authorities believe was locked in a cage and beaten regularly for over a year before he died.

The boy's father, Riley Choate, and his stepmother Kimberly Kubina, have been charged with a litany of crimes, including murder, battery, neglect, and moving a dead body. They have both pleaded not guilty.

Although a final autopsy report has not yet been issued, court records show that the cause of Christian's death has been determined to be blunt force trauma, which caused internal bleeding and a skull fracture.

In an attempt to bolster his case, Riley Choate's attorney Randy Godshalk had asked that a second, independent autopsy be performed. That defense request forced Christian's burial, scheduled for late June, to be postponed.

But Judge Diane Boswell denied the request on Tuesday, according to the Northwest Indiana Times.

She left open the possibility of reconsidering it, however.

makes me feel lucky that my adoptive parents weren't such fuckups!

Thank God she had the capacity to know she was in trouble, and didn't want to die, and jump from the second story window. And this didn't even make national news.

If it was a white woman the news would be all over it…
