Nun stabs boy in hand to teach him ‘how Jesus suffered’

When we were at school, we had a mock crown of thorns plonked on our head to demonstrate what Jesus went through on his way to the cross.

But one nun took it a little bit too far when she stabbed a schoolboy in the hand so he could experience the suffering of Jesus.

Sister Ludovita, 30, had been giving an RE class at a school in the town of Kysucke, Nove Mesto in northern Slovakia when she beckoned a boy to the front of the class.

She then reportedly proceeded to take a needle from her handbag before ramming it into the hand of seven-year-old Adam Celko, and told him that this was how Jesus suffered.

She also said that he too would experience a similar fate if he behaved badly.

Adam’s mum Helena, 30, said: ‘When Adam got home, he had a wound on the back of his hand and when I asked him what had happened he told me the nun had done it.

‘I was completely shocked. I mean, what on earth was she thinking?’

‘And with Easter coming I began to worry about what she would do next – crucify one of the students or hammer a nail into their hands?’

A school spokesman said: ‘We strongly disapprove of this sort of teaching method.

‘When I contacted the Sister she told me that the class had been learning about Jesus Christ and personal sin.’

‘She added that the children had been invited to voluntarily experience mild pain so they could empathise with the theme.

‘She said she had invited the pupils to prick themselves if they wanted to but were not forced to.

‘She denies stabbing the boy and says he did it himself.

Thoughts?

Why does a child need to be stabbed anywhere to know how it feels to be hurt? Wouldn't a child by that age already hurt themselves by accident and therefore know what pain is to at least some degree? Also Jesus never got stabbed in the hand so not sure why this nun felt this stab wound would simulate anything even remotely close to what Jesus went through on the cross?

While on the topic of asking questions, Why did the nun deny doing it if they truly felt they were teaching a genuine lesson and not just hurting kids for the sake of their sick enjoyment? I'd say this nun should be kept away from children before she hurts anyone else.

just part of the religious sheep thinking that child abuse is acceptable

...I'd say this nun should be kept away from children before she hurts anyone else.

For the record, I'm A-OK with keeping her separated from people of any age.

There are plenty of people with no religious affiliation of any stripe that abuse children. For other instances you have to look no further than the story of a public school teacher who thought duct tape should be used to control an unruly child.

The fact that this woman was part of a Catholic order is almost secondary to the fact that she was in a position of authority over children and thought that this action was her first best course of action to make her point.
