Children of Evil

About this episode

Infants and children represent innocence and hope for the future of our world. They need to be nurtured and protected by those who love them. But because kids can be so helpless, it leaves them vulnerable to sources of evil. They make for easy prey sought after by bad-actors for their youth. So we must look out for them, because if we’re not careful they could be taken by the dark side. 


First, an unwanted guest 

Followed by the feral child 

Then, don’t let them in 

Finally in our featured story, a face in the dark
