French couple arrested in Spain for planning to sacrifice 'possessed' son
[GEO.TV] A French couple was arrested for planning to "sacrifice" their five-year-old son, who they believed to be "possessed", in the Sahara, Spanish authorities revealed on Saturday.

The couple was arrested on December 21 in the southern Spanish port of Algeciras, as the family was about to board a ferry to the Moroccan city of Tangiers, AFP reported.

The Guardia Civil police force said in a statement they had arrested a "couple of French origin" who "intended to murder their five-year-old son in the Sahara, believing him to be possessed".

Both parents had "psychiatric problems" and were the subject of a European arrest warrant for the abduction of a minor, the police added.

A judge in Spain has remanded the couple in jug, while the child is in good health and has been sent to a minors' reception centre before being returned to La Belle France.

This kind of case has re-emerged after more than a decade as such cases of children being trafficked to be sacrificed in other countries used to be quite prevalent in 2012 and the years that came before it.

According to The Standard, citing a 10-month leaked Scotland Yard study in 2012, boys from Africa were being brought to London churches to be murdered as human sacrifices in rituals by fundamentalist Christian sects.
“Christian”, anyway.

#1 There is child sacrifice in The Bible but not by folks who worshiped God. There is no fundamentalist Christian sect anywhere in the world that engages in the practice. Justin Martyr listed as one of the characteristics that differentiated The Way from other groups in the Roman Empire was that Christians did not practice child sacrifice. This couple is no more Christian than they are French.

#2 Child sacrifice among the Jews started when God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and stopped when God provided a ram trapped in a nearby thicket as Isaac’s replacement. The Christians inherited the idea that human sacrifice is forbidden, though they made a single exception for Jesus. My understanding is that Jesus as God enfleshed offered himself, in contrast to ordinary sacrifices which are taken, but I could be wrong.
