'Thousands of children are being accused of being witches and we've both seen torture of children, dead children and frightened children'

Harrowing
pictures show how a starving two-year-old Nigerian boy was rescued
after being discovered naked and wandering the streets because his
family thought he was a witch.
The boy, who has been named Hope, was found emaciated and riddled with
worms after being forced to live off scraps of food thrown to him by
passersby for eight months.
He was rescued by Anja Ringgren Loven, a Danish woman living in Africa
who bent down and began feeding the boy and giving him water.
She then wrapped the boy in a blanket and took him to the nearest hospital.
Ms Loven is the founder of African Children's Aid Education and Development Foundation,
which she created to help children which have been labelled as witches
and therefore neglected and even killed by members of their community.
She runs a children's centre where the children she saves receive medical care, food and schooling.
