Uncommon card · No. 111413

Candace Elizabeth Newmaker (born Candace Tiara Elmore; November 19, 1989 – April 19, 2000) was a 10-year-old child who was killed during a 70-minute attachment therapy session performed by four unlicensed therapists, purported to treat reactive attachment disorder. The treatment, during which Newmaker was suffocated, included a rebirthing script. She was wrapped in flannel to represent a womb and told to free herself while four adults used their hands and feet to push down on Candace's body, suffocating her.
