LOOK: 4-Year-Old with “Mark of the Devil” Really Child Abuse?

The-Sun-Front-Page---2971-009

The Sun is now receiving a public backlash after posting a 4-year-old boy with an alleged “mark of the devil” on his chest on their front page but is this really the symbol of Mammon or a sign of abuse?

It was reported that Sharon Lewis and Robby Jones of Market Drayton, Shrops found the mark on their 4-year-old son Samuel as they were getting him ready for bed. The child’s mother stated: “Just looking at it made me shake, thinking something unnatural had visited my boy. Something or someone made the sign on him but we just can’t explain how.” Sharon explains Samuel suffers from a rare brittle bone disorder and it was assumed he had slept with a toy or something pressing into him, but said nothing could be found in his bed.

A spokesman for the Sun said: “This was a story provided by the parents, who had already publicized the pictures and story on Facebook. We sought to treat it in a lighthearted fashion, highlighting the apparently fanciful link to the occult. We are conscious of the code and guidance around paying parents. We did not encourage the parents to embellish or expand the story; it came to us, and had already been the subject of discussion (raised by the parents) on social media. It’s also worth noting that no concerns were expressed about the child’s welfare. An unusual mark appears, the mother gets it checked out by a doctor who confirms there is no medical reason why it should be there, and discharges her. Social workers are not involved.”

4 year old mark of devilThe real issue is, while the mainstream media is making a big deal about creating a witch-hunt on the child, Why hasn’t anyone brought up the question of child abuse? While doctors and teachers are baffled on what may have caused the marks on the child, a person with the handle “sadpastie” recently posted a photo showing the front of a Revlon Hair Dryer and the steel grill inside has a similar resemblance to the supposed “mark of the devil” that appears on the boys chest.

At the very least, child services should be involved and the local police department should be conducting an investigation.
