Figures emerge as Kindoki Witch Boy film tells true story of Mardoche Yembi who underwent an exorcism as a child

Summary

Over 14,000 children in England have been accused of witchcraft since 2015, with 2,180 cases in the past year alone, according to the National FGM Centre.

The film Kindoki Witch Boy, released on the 25th anniversary of Victoria Climbié’s death, tells Mardoche Yembi’s true story of surviving a childhood exorcism.

Climbié was tortured to death in 2000 after similar accusations. Yembi hopes the film raises awareness and helps victims.

    Yes. England (and the rest of the UK) was build on exporting ideas and people. Ideas like education, law, science.

    Now England is in a new century which is importing ideas from the rest of the world. It doesn’t seem to be going as well.

    The Witchcraft Act 1735 finally concluded prosecutions for alleged witchcraft in England. The 1800’s in England was more enlightenment than current England. God help us all.
