I have mixed emotions on this decision after reading the following article.

I agree it looks like Caminiti is trying to impose a form of Sharia-like Christianity which is not good. However he needs therapy not jail.
Any resemblance between this and America is delusional.
“Caminiti would instruct church members and his own adult children to beat crying infants and toddlers with wooden spoons and dowels on their bare bottoms.”
That sounds like conspiracy to commit child abuse all right. I don’t see what’s so outrageous about the conviction. People who beat children—babies—are as bad as child molesters.
