As an aside, here’s one where we’re in the same boat as Redditors: Have you ever looked up the Gonzalite boiling babies story? I tried to find a basis for it but couldn’t.

This reminds me of a snippet of a BRG article I have burned in my brain:

The Communist Party of Peru did not “boil children alive”. I have seen nothing like this written anywhere. They did, apparently, use scalding water as a method of execution, along with stones and machetes. They did, also, engage in the act of killing infants, elderly people, and pregnant women at the village of Lucanamarca in 1983.
