A five-year-old boy frightened by a bizarre satanic ritual was blinded by his own family. His mother, aunt, two uncles and grandparents gouged out his eyes with a spoon when he refused to close them as they summoned the devil, calling on him to end the world and claim them for his own. Neighbours disturbed by the screams and chanting investigated and discovered Maria del Carmen Garcia Rios, 28, her sister and two brothers and her parents engaged in the satanic ritual in the poor Nezahualcoyotl area near Mexico city. A court heard the six danced and cavorted and were told to close their eyes so they didn't look at the devil when he arrived.
