There is a documentary about an abused child
which I have seen twice. It is about a little girl who
was abused by her parents. A pastor and his wife
adopted her, not knowing the extent to which she had
been abused by her biological parents. She was just
a small child when the couple adopted her, but that
little girl wanted to kill the whole family. She was
asked about it:
“What were you trying to do to your brother when
your mother pulled you off him?”
“Kill him.”
It didn’t bother her at all to talk about it. The psychiatrist
asked, “You mean you wanted to kill him?”
“Yeah.”
“Were you hurting him?”
“Yeah.”
“What were you doing to him?”
“Well, I had my hands on his throat, beating his
head against the floor.”
“Was your brother screaming for you to stop?”
“Yeah.”
“But you wanted to kill him?”
“Yeah, I was gonna kill him.”
“Why did you quit?”
“I heard Mama.”
The girl showed no remorse whatsoever about
what she had done. She had tried at one time
or another to kill her whole family with some
butcher knives.
“Where did you get the knives?” she was asked.
“Out of the dishwasher.”
“What did you do with them?”
“I hid them.”
This was an eight-year-old little girl. In
school she had made it clear that she wanted to
kill everybody in her class.
I want to inject this note. It will show you Satan’s
nature and what man is like when he is separated
from the knowledge of God.
Satan is mean. He has death in him. Without a
bonding to parents, many children wind up in the
devil’s clutches. The streets are full of them today.
They don’t care whether anyone else lives or dies.
Why? Because their parents didn’t care whether they
lived or died. Their parents never bonded with them.
They never taught them anything. They just threw
them out with the garbage and let them grow up any
way they could. Today we have an entire generation of
godless people.
This little girl was placed in a home run by
Christian people who knew how to treat this kind of
child. There were some nine year olds in that same
place who had committed murder, and didn’t care.
They were dangerous.
These adults begin to bond with the children.
The youngsters couldn’t do anything without adult
supervision. They had to ask for every drink of water.
If they didn’t ask for it, they didn’t get it. They had
to get permission for everything they did. They were
watched 24 hours a day. They had alarms on their
doors. They couldn’t move at night without somebody
being there to watch them.
The counselors were constantly working with
these children, telling them over and over again, “God
loves you, and I love you.”
A year or two after the little girl was sent to this
place, she was interviewed again and asked the same
questions. This time she was holding a little white
Bible in her hand, and she was so proud of it.
“What were you trying to do when you were hurting
your brother?” she was asked.
“It was trying to kill him,” she answered. But this
time, she started weeping and couldn’t talk about it.
What had happened to make such a change in
her? She had been born again. She had become honorable
toward her brother, her parents and God.
