Six-Year-Old Says Mother Set Fire To Her During Voodoo Ceremony

Prosecutors say a mother set her 6 year old on fire during a voodoo ceremony intended to drive out evil spirits. The girl's mother and grandmother didn't take her to the hospital until the next day, February 5th, according to the D.A. She remained in the hospital for nearly two months. The mother says the girl was burned accidentally while the mother was cooking. The girl is now in foster care, and apparently told her foster family about the incident; they reported it to law enforcement.
