      Claudia explained to police that her daughter had a demon because she would ‘wake up and scream’ in the night.

      I feel like crying. All kids do this. You address this by having a happy bedtime, keeping the room cool, keeping ambient light out… There’s so many options.

She gets a hug when that happens. Sometimes my wife sings her back to sleep.
