India police find child skeletons

Indian police say they have found bags containing the clothes and skeletons of a number of small children near Delhi.

They were discovered in Noida, some 20 km (12 miles) from the capital. A search is on for more remains.

Noida's police chief, RKS Rathore, told the BBC there were at least four skeletons, possibly many more.

The discovery came after a man confessed to killing six children in Noida's Nithari district after sexually abusing them.

Parents angered

Superintendent Rathor said six children below the age of 12 had gone missing from the Nithari area in the last year.

Local people say far more children are missing.

Police said they initially arrested the man in connection with the murder of a young girl. They say further questioning of the man led to the discovery of the skeletons.

The skeletons were found in the house of a businessman where the suspect worked as a servant.

A bulldozer was deployed to dig up earth around the property.

The news has shocked and angered parents of the missing children.

Police were sent to control crowds who tried to storm the house.

"My son went missing eight months ago. Police have not told me anything," one parent told the BBC. "But I am fearing the worst."

Many others told the BBC that they had reported missing children in recent months but that the police had done nothing about it.

This story reminds me of the Bapu that ordered his followers to kill their children in order to gain favors from "gods" in the state of Bihar.

One of the followers, a confused dude by the name of Dhiru Koli, cut his 3 year old daughter in half then stitched her back together. He then decapitated his son's head and left it and the body of his daughter at an alter. Supposedly they get all these ideas from a book titled Kalika Purana (a bible of sorts) which states: "The gods are pleased by the performance of sacrifices, the sacrifice saves people, and everything is rooted in sacrifice. Man and animals are created for sacrifice."

I always find it mindblowing how one dude manages to convince people to kill their kids. When I meet the guy (the bapu) he wouldn't even come out of his room (shack). He sat in bed cross-legged and smiled the whole time and asked if I had kids or needed any favors.

That's an interesting Bapu story. So much for finding enlightenment by visiting Eastern gurus...

This kinda reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom...
