Isn't child torture and child sacrifice abuse???
In the article
Child sacrifice in pre-Columbian cultures an editor removed yesterday this article from the category "child abuse" stating in edit summary: "that categroy [sic] comes off as unsupported bias".
In the same article you can read that, before killing the children, the
Aztecs tortured them:
“
Tlaloc required the tears of the young so their tears would wet the earth. As a result, priests made children cry before the infanticidal ritual sacrifice, sometimes by tearing off their nails [my emphasis]
”
Is the said editor kidding?? I would like to know why
human sacrifices are not listed in the category "abuse". Keep in mind that, though uncommon, human sacrifices are still performed today, for example the illegal Indian ritual called
sati (practice).
