Brave toddler, 3, tried to escape and told mom 'I love you' while being 'exorcised' to death in church as prosecutors finally try to bring evil parents and grandfather to justice

A little girl told her mother 'I love you’ in an attempt to stop the woman torturing her to death in a day-long church ‘exorcism’, newly released court documents reveal.

Three-year-old Arely Proctor pleaded for her life and struggled to escape as she was battered and strangled by her mother Claudia Hernandez, 27, and her pastor relatives.

Two years after her body was found by police on the altar of a Pentecostal church in San Jose, California, authorities have still to decide whether her killers will stand trial.

‘Over the course of approximately twenty hours Arely Doe fought for her life as three trusted adults forcibly grabbed her by the neck,’ Deputy District Attorney Rebekah Wise wrote.

‘While this assault was ongoing, Arely struggled to escape from her abusers. The victim repeatedly said ‘No!'

It took two hours for the family to call 911 after Arely finally stopped breathing at the Iglesia Apostoles y Profetas on September 24, 2021.

Claudia explained to police that her daughter had a demon because she would ‘wake up and scream’ in the night.

‘Arely looked different,’ she said. ‘Her eyes were different. They looked empty and it wasn’t her.

‘What I believe is that she was possessed, you know, ’cause I go to church.’

Claudia decided to go to the church after her daughter bit her finger while she was trying to make her vomit.

They went with Claudia’s brother Rene “Aaron” Hernandez Santos, 21, who told police he had ‘gifts from God’.

He explained that ‘Arely was not the same. She was normally always smiling'.

The grandpa looks possessed but not the little girl.

Well, that’s just swell.

Religious crazies should stick to snake handling and polygamy and leave exorcism to the Catholics.

Just reading the headlines will be enough for me.
No further.

Pentacostals are disgusting. And the open borders are not exactly a 100 percent benefit for American civilization. Aztecs are not my friends.

There are people in this world who just need killing and the sooner the better to get it over with since they serve absolutely no possible earthly good. Unfortunately, I think there are lots of them. I would happily do the service to all of us if given the chance. Before anyone jumps in about god and judgement I'll just say that I'll take that chance freely and by my own choice.

Misguided and ignorant is no excuse for what these religious nuts did. I know by experience there are lots of them and where they live. In their sick minds they can justify anything. The ones who somehow believe the preacher or father or pope is god's own appointed intermediary and would follow him anywhere and do anything for him are the sickest ones of all. Just for the record, these religious nuts are only men and they are fakes.

I too wish I had not read this. It has been a bad day and this just made it a hell of a lot worse. I had hoped it happened in some ignorant third world hell hole. Turned out that it is. California and the late usa.

You know Ann I don’t believe they meant to harm the child on purpose. They were just stupid beyond belief.

Manslaughter yes, outright murder no.

I’m not sure why, but I had hoped the same thing. Maybe thinking it would seem more distant and somehow wouldn’t be as distressing.

Not the first time. I remember a case back in 1966, Hispanic family in the Ozarks, yes, OZARKS, doing something similar by whipping people to get the devil out of them.
