Religious child abusers at it again

A couple who ~~mutilated~~ ~~abused~~ tattooed their young children apparently were SHOCKED and SURPRISED when they were arrested for being the child-abusing lunatics that they were.

If this weren't bad enough, guess what they were so enthusiastic about tattooing on their children's bodies...

Georgia authorities said Patty "Jo Jo" Marsh and her boyfriend, Jacob Edward Bartels, used a homemade device to tattoo black crosses on the hands of their children.They are charged with illegal tattooing, cruelty to children and reckless conduct.

Is anyone surprised? Once religion enters the picture, societal norms and moral standards simply become irrelevant. After all, what greater calling is there for the religious, than the calling of an imaginary sky-daddy?

Wait, there's more lunacy from this pair of moronic, evil, child abusers:

Anyway, so they wanted one so we're like OK, so it's just a little biddy cross right here, OK?"

RRRAAAGGGEEE!

A ten-year old child wanting a tattoo? Even if (as unlikely as it seems) that were the case, what sort of parents are they that they would be totally okay with doing something that is tantamount to child abuse because their child 'wanted it'?

Oh wait, they're religious kooks. My bad.
