A YouTuber shares a disturbing true story from Brazil in 2009. A 2-year-old boy was taken to the doctor by his mother, who was concerned about his constant stomach pain. After an x-ray, doctors discovered over 30 needles inside the boy's body, including in his stomach, neck, chest, and liver. The police were involved, and it was revealed that the boy's stepfather, Roberto Carlos Magalhães Neto, had inserted the needles as part of a twisted ritual. Roberto confessed to the crime and was sentenced to 12 years and 16 months in prison. Two women who assisted him were not arrested due to lack of evidence. The boy underwent multiple surgeries to remove the needles, but some remain in his body. Nine years later, the child still has four needles inside him.
