![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hey, maybe scrubbing those satanic symbols off the wall might be a good place to start. The window to read *The Strong-Willed Child has passed, and it’s high time someone starts taking tougher measures to cleanse this house (which, come to think of it, they got at a really fantastic price) of demonic influences. What child hasn’t *scrawled blasphemous runes in her bedroom?īut by the time Leila starts biting visiting priests, well, things are clearly out of control. When she draws odd symbols on one of her bedroom walls-forming, as it would seem, a door-do Ryan or Emily tell her that drawing on the walls is inappropriate? No. When Leila rips up the family Bible and throws it in the fire, she’s again led tenderly to her bedroom. When they discover Leila in the middle of the night burying the family rosary in the backyard, they gently lead her back upstairs and tuck her in bed. Leila’s parents, Ryan and Emily, are a bit slow on the uptake. And Leila is just what the demon needs to stamp his passport. (So much for steering clear of Grand Theft Auto.) But being a not-wholly-solid spirit, Toby needs a little help to, shall we say, come for a real visit. In fact, he’d very much like to spend his days killing people. It’s better that Leila have tea with Toby than play Grand Theft Auto V, am I right?Īlas, Toby is not so imaginary, and he has very little interest in tea. Now, ordinarily, we at Plugged In would be in favor of children stepping away from their television sets and video games for some nice pretend tea parties with imaginary pals. But like many kids, she’s fallen in with the wrong crowd, hers led by “imaginary” friend, Toby. If ever there was an 8-year-old girl who could benefit from a long time-out, it’d be her. Especially the ones who are plotting with demons. Sometimes children need a strong, authoritative, parental hand in their lives. ![]()
