Father Tried To Sacrifice Son In San Diego Cemetery
Joseph Ramirez, a 30-year-old man from San Diego, Calif., has been accused of attempting to sacrifice his 8-year-old son Saturday afternoon at Mount Hope Cemetery, NBC San Diego reports.
Police told the station Ramirez claimed the spirit of his deceased grandmother instructed him to sacrifice the child.

"He was like, 'Daddy, no… Don't hurt me, ow,' because his arms were hurting," Pires told KGTV.
Pires told the San Diego Union-Tribune that Ramirez kept repeating "we're going to Jesus, we're going to Jesus" before he cast the children aside and ran.
