Mexican boy loses sight after bizarre ritual
Description
A 5-year-old boy whose eyes were removed during an alleged satanic ritual is quickly rushed to a hospital in Mexico City on May 24.
The child, identified as "Fernando" was released on Wednesday from hospital after nearly two weeks in care, but doctors say he has no hope of recovering his vision.
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) ROMAN ROSALES, DIRECTOR OF MEDICAL SERVICES AND EMERGENCIES, SAYING:
"Because this happened early in the child's life, he knows that he can't see, but he's still not conscious of the fact that his vision loss is permanent. This will require a constant therapeutic process, which will be attended to by the corresponding medical authorities in Mexico State."
His mother is believed to have removed the eyes with her bare hands in the gruesome ritual.
Eight people were arrested in connection to the attack, including the boy's mother and grandparents.
