The kid,Fernando Caleb Alvarado Rios was told to close his eyes out of respect for his mother, grandparents and other relatives while they danced in circles, calling on Satan to reveal himself.

They were later apprehended after neighbours heard shouting from the house and upon investigation, found the boy screaming in pain.After more than 2 years since the incident in May 2012, a court has finally given all of the suspects 30 years in jail.

Fernando has since been given glass eyes and is now in care.

The family which from the town of Nezahualcoyotl, believed the Devil could help them from a deadly earthquake and save them as his own.

The neighbour who raised the alarm, Joaquin Arguello told the court said he used to think the family was a religious one, not knowing they were satanists.

He said: We could hear screaming and we were banging on the door but nobody was answering, then a police patrol came past and one of the women who was with us ran into the road to flag it down, and officers forced their way inside.

Police officer Benet Curiel said they had witnessed the scene in which the scantily garbed were hunched over the boy who was screaming, adding that the two women were covered in blood.

I asked one of the women what was going on and she told me her name was Carmen Rios Garcia, and that the boy was her son. She identified him as Fernando Caleb Alvarado Rios, and said he was five years old, and said that she and her sister Lizbeth had done it.
