A 13-year-old girl named Tomomi Maishigi from Kumamoto Prefecture dies after a waterboarding-type exorcism carried by a Buddhist monk. He and Tomomi's dad were then arrested.
The story is in Japan Today. Here is the link:

RIP Tomomi.
Obviously the girl was mentally ill for years and the father resorted to that, I don't really care.
Well the only good I can see here is that she can finally rest in peace after the years of mental torment, still very tragic though ;_;
I thought only Christians did this sorta shit I guess stupidity is universal.
This reminds me of The Ring.
Seriously, why there are still people that believe in exorcism? Or that rely more in religion that medicine? It sucks when people die because of the studity of others.
...
...also, why before reading I got the stupid thought that she died because she was allergic to holy water?
"Reports said the the girl’s parents had turned to the monk after the youngster had suffered several years of mental and physical ill health that doctors had not been able to resolve."
Stop blaming the parents, you idiots. I don't even doubt that they wanted to kill the girl, this situation is a lot more complicated than you're guys are deeming it to be.

That's...pretty cruel. Even so, in the article she was described as normal by her classmates. :/ I think the father was trying to make excuses for his actions.
Among all the most retarded things a human being can do, trying to cure an illness with religion is one.
RIP dead girl

This^, not only that, nothing good ever comes out of a cult.

I wish more people would wash their faces properly though. When I'm at school I see all these people with bad self-care.

Face washing, through the use of releasing water from 2.5m above the ground at 40L a minute for 5 minutes while being strapped to a chair. The best way. jokes aside, I guess so?
Mountain sects, secret rituals, little girls: does this not remind anyone of Fatal Frame?
