A year ago, Dispatches told the story of how children in Africa's Niger Delta were being denounced by Christian pastors as witches and wizards, and then killed, tortured or abandoned by their own families. Following the introduction of the Child Rights legislation and an increase in financial support for a British charity providing a refuge for affected youngsters, the programme returns to find out what happened to some of the people featured in the first film.

That Sam guy is such a ninja, straight out of a james bond movie that shit was. Hes a hero.

I take some small solace in the fact that these kids who are now protected will grow up and enter communities knowing that the labelling of children as witches is wrong and evil. These kids will grow up to prevent this from happening to more and more kids.

It's too bad that woman is married...she is such a catch! (And to those too dumb to get it YES I am being sarcastic).

@gir908922 Well said. I hope and pray this madness and this victimization of children ends soon, and forever.

@Ellzington Seems like free speech is very much less of a problem then being tortured and killed as a child because some imbeciles call you a witch.

@Ellzington

Death threats are not free speech!

[TheRobinL]

@Ellzington Well free speech is one thing but harassing, bulling and threaten is another thing.

This guy, Gary, I salute him. He's  truly an example for everyone who can, but not doing anything..

Interesting that they suspend free speech to stop the practice.  Seems like too much.
