I was under
the impression Sunday School was a time to indoctrinate children with fanciful
tales even the kids know are fairy-stories.
Not a place
where a child would be (allegedly) assaulted.
Enter,
stage left, yesterday’s case from Auckland Court.
The court
heard how Sister Leva was helping with a Sunday School class at St Patrick's
Catholic church in Panmure in April of this year when the incident happened.
Apparently the
children were practicing an action song to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a
church leader when Sister Leva became pissed-off at a 9-year-old girl for doing
the actions wrong.
The state
prosecution alleges "She (Sister Leva) then went up to her and flicked her
in the side of the head, causing her to feel dizzy,"
"She
then twisted her arm up behind her back and the girl heard a click in her
shoulder and neck."
The next
day it was discovered the arm was fractured.
Leva-i-Fangalupe
Fono, known as Sister Leva was charged with assaulting a child and injuring
with intent.
Sister Leva
wore a cross in court and has the support of her church.
Let’s be
honest here, the nun could have chopped-up the entire class, boiled them, eaten
them and she’d still have the support of her church.
That’s the
way Catholicism works.
