Should voodoune the religion be outlawed? look at what a mother did to her child...

Determined to drive the evil spirits out of her daughter, a Queens mom performed a bizarre voodoo fire ritual that left the 6-year-old girl scarred for life, prosecutors say.

Frantzcia Saintil was "engulfed in flames," but Marie Lauradin was deaf to her daughter's screams as she let the girl burn, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown charged Thursday.

Eventually, Frantzcia's grandmother doused the flames with frigid water, but instead of getting the girl help they put her to bed, Brown said.

Frantzcia remained there for a day before another relative begged them to take the little girl to the hospital, Brown said.

When doctors finally saw her, Frantzcia had second- and third-degree burns covering 25% of her body, including her face, torso and legs, court papers state.

Lauradin, 29, a Haitian immigrant, was charged in Queens criminal court with assault and endangering the welfare of a child. She faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

"She denies these allegations," lawyer Jeff Cohen said as the proceedings were translated into Creole for the mother. "This is my client's only child. My client would not hurt her."

Lauradin, who has been in the U.S. for barely a year, listened impassively as the judge ordered her held on $50,000 bail. She was also slapped with an order of protection, barring her from any contact with her damaged daughter.

Frantzcia's grandmother, 70-year-old Sylvenie Thessier, was expected to charged later with reckless endangerment and endangering welfare of a child. She faces up to seven years in prison.

A friend nicknamed "Sketch" helped the women stage the reckless Feb. 4 ritual but was not named or charged with a crime.

Frantzcia was placed into a medically-induced coma as part of her treatment - a state of suspended animation from which she recently emerged.

She is now in foster care.

"The child has suffered permanent scarring both physically and emotionally," Brown said.

Frantzcia was at her home in Queens Village when her mother began performing a ritual that Brown called "Loa."

The Loa are actually spirits in the Voodoo religion who, like Christian saints, serve as intermediaries between God and mankind, according to various Web sites.

Lauradin sprayed a circle of rum on the floor around her daughter and ignited it, police said. Then she poured some of it on the girl's head - and pushed her into the flaming circle.

Confronted by cops, Lauradin initially claimed she was boiling rice in a pot when the girl "startled" her, causing her to spill the scalding water on her, Brown said.

Lauradin also said it was her mom's idea to give Frantzcia a bath and put her to bed instead of taking her immediately to the hospital. She claimed she didn't even notice the girl was burned until they got to the emergency room.

Brown said they learned the truth after Frantzcia told her foster caregiver what really happened.

Watch RocknRolla

Looks like old school london teach em a lesson to slow them down kinda snakery to me...

I think it is time to actually wake up :)

This sounds like a very touching story...

However there seems to be some consistency issues...

They left the girl in the house a day

Plenty of time to apply the birsn during that time..

This kind of service would probably not cost too much in certain circuits..
