A split tongue and a lazy eye [...] for sorcerers in Morocco are a sign that someone possesses supernatural skills that allow them to contact the spirit world and find buried treasures.
Hence, sorcerers have resorted to kidnapping children with features such as a cross on their right hand, tongues split in the middle or a lazy right eye.
According to Moroccan human rights activists gangs of sorcerers are targeting children with the specific features because they believe such children are "zohri," or born as jinn, but were replaced with human beings upon their birth.
