Abstract: Sorcerer Children is a new and growing phenomenon in Kinshasa. Children are accused of sorcery mainly by evangelist churches. Families believing in churches leaders are then convinced that their children are sorcerers. Children are then accused to be at the origin of all problems facing by families. The hoodoo is broken by practises affecting seriously the well-being of children. This paper discuss the link between the development of Churches and the development of sorcerer children.
