A pastor starved a toddler for 25 days to exorcise demons. She got 99 years in prison.

[Disir]

Meza and her husband, Daniel Meza, ran a church called Iglesia Internacional Jesus es el Ray out of a brick home in Balch Springs, a suburb southeast of Dallas. Public records show that Daniel Meza was the church’s president and director, while his wife was the vice president. Several adults and children were living with the couple around the time the boy died in the spring of 2015.


Aracely Meza claimed to have the ability to speak with God and to perform healing miracles. She told investigators that God had told her the boy needed to fast. He was given only water four or five times a day for 25 days, the Dallas Morning News reported, while followers were told not to help the child. But even after the fast, Meza still deprived the boy of food when he did not say “amen,” authorities said.

The boy was reduced to skin and bones, unable to lift his head up during his last days. He died March 22, 2015. That day, Meza conducted a “rising ceremony” to bring him to life. She told police later that she believed God would wake him up, the Dallas Morning News reported. But the boy never woke up, and Meza and the child’s parents, who also were her followers, took the body to Mexico the next day to be buried.

Why is this news?

Remember, Republicans want to get rid of school lunch and food stamps for poor.

For Republicans, hungry kids aren't a problem. They are the goal.
