Seems to me Sivanya had the right idea.
.
The alleged apparition told the children to come closer, which frightened a girl named Sivanya, who said she wanted to leave.
.
Apparitions of Our Lady do not "follow" girls who are trying to leave.
.
While the teacher was leading the children out of the church, the girls said the apparition followed them and pleaded with them not to leave.
.
Maybe the children won't have to do their homework now since the apparition is helping them. But any real vision of Our Lady wouldn't presume to take the place of Confirmation. And promises to take them to heaven handed out like party favors? Hmmm...
.
According to the children, the apparition promised them help in their studies and promised to send them the Holy Spirit. The apparition also promised to take them to heaven.
.
What if helping them with studies is to possess them, and what if the "Holy Spirit" is really an unholy spirit? Then taking them to "heaven" -- well, it depends on what you mean by "heaven," doesn't it?
