Maori Exorcism....






There was an exorcism that occured village of Wainuiomata where, Janet Moses, a 22 year old woman was killed and a 14 year old girl has her eyes gouged out. The family believed that because Ms. Moses had stolen something she was under a curse. Elders believed that to heal the curse the victim must have their eyes must be scratched out and water had to be forced down their throat. After Ms. Moses dies, the family believed that the spirit had entered a 14 year old cousins body and her eyes were also scratched out. She was sent to a hospital trying to attempt to gain her vision back. The police dont know how to handle this case because this is a case that deals with religious customs. That is a big problem even in the US today. The government still doesnt know how to handle religious cases because they are more sensitive issues. What the U.S. needs to do is really separate religion and the government. In that way, all people in America can be punished the right way. There is no equality if the government shows favor to a religious group, it only causes more problems. So separation of church and Government is crucial.
