A preliminary hearing began for the tragic death of a 3 year old female in 2021. The 3 year old little girl named Arely, died after her mother, grandfather and uncle performed an alleged exorcism on her to remove what they called a demon from her. They felt that she was possessed by a demon after witnessing something sinister on her mothers phone. The trio decided she needed an exorcism to have the demon cast out of her.
Rather than seeking the proper help through the Catholic church, they decided to go to a small Pentecostal church in San Jose California pastored by Rene Trigueros Hernandez. The child's mother, Claudia Hernandez, her uncle Rene "Aaron" Hernandez Santos, and her grandfather Rene Trigueros Hernandez, were all charged with felony child abuse.
The official cause of death from the coroners office is from asphyxiation from the ritual performed by her relatives. The child, Arely, had been strangled, smothered and covered during the exorcism. The prosecutors said that the trio were praying, strangling and pushing her 38 pound body teying to get her to vomit up the "evil spirit." There were injuries found all over the child's body from the horrible experience. The coroner's report also determined she had pressure put on her body, on her torso from the front and back, with so much force applied that she lost consciousness. The child was found dead by firefighters 14 hours Hernandez told her brother they were to perform the exorcism.
San Jose Police Lt J.J. Vallejo stated during the hearing that there is a recording of Arely's mother said to her uncle that God has taken her and "its going to look like we intended to kill her, but we did not."
Hernandez posted videos on Youtube before she was arrested talking about the situation. She stated "its many reasons why God took her. At least she'e not suffering, she's in a better place. God knows why he allowed these things." Trigueros Hernandez's defense attorney, Dana Fite, made the arguement that the child's murder was not intended. "None of these individuals said they intended to kill Arely, correct? Fite asked, "In essence, they were trying to help her, to get rid the demon, correct? The preliminary hearing will determine if enough evidence exists to proceed to trial.
So what does this article show? This article shows that deliverance or exorcism should only be performed by trained priests. Those that seek exorcism should go to professionals like the Catholic or Anglican Church or contact the Sacred Order of St Michael the Archangel Order of Exorcists. Most who seek exorcism, have the idea that you go to an exorcist and wam bam thank you mam, the demon is cast out, when in reality that's not the case. In reality 99% percent of the cases that are investigated are proven to be mental health and 1% are actually truely demonic cases.
The protocol for an exorcism is to contact the church and request your case be investigated by the exorcist. The exorcist will contact you and set up a meeting with you. He will go through a questionnaire and ask you a series of questions to determine if there is the presence of the demonic. Next you will need to see your doctor for a physical and a psychologist/psychiatrist for a mental health exam. Demons will hide behind the signs and symptoms of Schizphrenia, Disassociative Identity Disorder and many other mental health disorders. this is the reason why we need your reports from your droctors. You need not worry about what the doctors think of your case because if there is a demon present there will be signs. (For the Signs and symptoms of demonic possession see our website). It may take 3-6 months or more to get permission for an exorcism to be performed. The evidence from the investigation will be sent up to the Archbishop of whatever church or organization you are working with and he has to make the decision to perform the rite. If there is a no go decision the team will help you find the help you need for your affliction.
An exorcist should never charge you for their services. They are open to donations for travel expenses, hotel expenses etc. they have to travel far from their main base of operations. There are many ministers that claim to the exorcists or deliverance ministers like Bob Larson, Isaiah Saldivar, Alexander Pagani, Greg Locke and the rest of the demon slayers are not the help you want to seek. they will only charge you money to get help and it will only make the situation worse because the affliction doesn't go anywhere. Matthew 10:8 states:
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,[a] cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.
I know someone will say that contradicts what i just said about donations. But it Recieved without paying and give without pay, it doesn't say anything about receiving donations to the church.
The is a reason the the rule for exorcism and becoming an exorcist are strict. You have to be an ordained priest, be trained by another exorcist and continue your training, pray to God, Our Lady, the Saints etc. Those who aren't chosen by God, who are fascinated by the demonic are the ones that shouldn't be performing the exorcism. Acts 19:11-16 talks about the Sons of Sceva:
11 And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them. 13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. 15 But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all[d] of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded
This passage is the reason why you need to be called to the ministry of exorcism. You, members of your team, or the client could be severely hurt mentally or physically or both.
