Suspects in New Mexico child abuse raid 'had supernatural beliefs'

The estranged family of 11 malnourished children rescued from a squalid New Mexico compound have called the discovery of the children’s conditions “heartbreaking, sad and embarrassing for the rest of the family”. The children, ranging in age from one to 15, were discovered last week in a raid of a partially underground rural New Mexico compound and turned over to state child welfare workers. “They were skinny, their ribs showed, they were in very poor hygiene and very scared,” Taos county Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe told ABC News Radio.
