Babay 'starved to death" for not saying Amen!
Its a strange world we live in..
A toddler whose remains were found inside a suitcase was starved to death by religious cult members - including his mother - because he refused to say 'amen' after meals, police said today.
Ria Ramkissoon and three other members of the group have been charged with the first-degree murder of her son Javon Thompson, whose body was found in April.
U.S. police and the family of Ramkissoon say that the group, based in Baltimore and called 1 Mind Ministries, is a cult.
Members of the religious group, based in Baltimore, above, are alleged to have dumped the child's body in a suitcase
Javon's food was stopped in December 2006 - when he was about 15 months old - partly because he refused to say 'amen' after dinner, investigators were told by two children who had been taken away from the cult by Philadelphia police.
Members viewed Javon as 'a demon', the children said.
No medical care was sought for the toddler when he stopped breathing, and he died in his mother's arms, according to court records of police interviews with the two children and another informant.
The anonymous informant told police that cult member Queen Antoinette then left the boy's body in a room for more than a week, claiming 'God was going to raise Javon from the dead,' court documents show.
Afterwards, Antoinette burned the clothing and mattress and placed his body in a green suitcase, which she would periodically open and spray with disinfectant to mask the stench, police say.
The group members allegedly left Baltimore early last year for Philadelphia, stowing the green suitcase and other luggage in a shed belonging to a man they had befriended.
Officers found the suitcase, containing the remains of a small child, in April after a tip-off. They are now waiting for DNA tests to confirm the boy's identity.
Ramkissoon, 21, was awaiting a bail review today while being held in custody in a psychiatric ward.
Ramkissoon's family said she should not be held responsible for her son's death.
'She had no control over that situation at all,' said her stepfather Craig Newton.
Her mother Seeta Khadan-Newton says Ramkissoon was not behind the decision to stop feeding the boy.
'My daughter was a victim, just like my grandson,' Ms Khadan-Newton said.
'Somebody made that decision to not feed that child, and my daughter had to follow instructions.'
According to court documents, Ramkissoon joined 1 Mind Ministries after Javon was born.
Ms Khadan-Newton last saw her in April 2006; she later sued for custody of her grandson, writing in a letter to a judge that 'the cult leaders' were preventing her from contacting her daughter.
my stomach just turned reading this..my heart goes out to that poor kid for having such demonic parents!!!
for F sake, he's only 15 months old!! how could they do that
terrible..shocking
i mean WTF the parents cant be held responsible.
no 1 they should both be steralised along with all other cult members...this is a heinous crime
its the Albinos that suffer in Africa...you may be talking about an area in tanzania... there was a report on BBC about it...
But we can't compare that much... very different context.
Yeah Brit, its awful what goes on in people mind and worse is when innocent children are under their supposed care. Of course the mother is accountable, she let the baby die in her arms, but obviously shes sick, otherwise she wouldnt have put herself in this situation in the first place..
Its amazing how people can be brainwashed / influenced so easily..
Its like a case I read a dew weeks ago about women being set alight in Africa, accused of being witches..
IMHO, The mother has to have some accountability in this case..
oh god, some people are sick in this world.....
This is painful, absolutely painful. Im thoroughly disgusted.
You ddnt two seeem eye havit to do all here this, what rounding my edd. Idot.

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong but are MOST children able to say things like amen at a little over a year old??
