 Children in Nigeria are being abused and abandoned by their parents for being accused of witchcraft. Many of the children's siblings are dying. Parents are thinking that the children who seem to be healthy are killing their brothers and sisters. There have been an enormous rise in orphans. Kids are being abandoned and are living on the streets for days at a time, until people find them and are caring enough to help them or take them in. Parents are scared of their kids killing them. Teachers, doctors and scientist are telling parents that there is no such thing as witchcraft so they will consider taking their kids back.
