BIT #3  "Telepathic” Child Tested By Scientist- Q&A

On top of having some incredible skills in language and mathematics, this savant, a 5-year-old boy from Los Angeles, is also said to have psychic powers. The video posted on YouTube by the boy’s mother, Nyx Sanguino, shows Ramses speaking Russian at 13 months old, speaking Japanese at the age of 2 and solving complex algebra now at the age of 5.

Q: What are Dr Powell observation on the capabilities of the child? 

Los Angeles, California resident Ramses Sanguino has been diagnosed with autism. He is also being described as a “child savant” since he is able to solve complex mathematical equations and speak several different foreign languages ever since he was young.
After being trained at John Hopkins University, Dr. Powell starting running a private practice in the city of Medford, Oregon. She decided to work with and study Ramses as a part of her cutting-edge research project on telepathy.Dr. Powell believes that telepathy may be more common in children with autism because it provides an alternative form of communication between the children and their parents who ‘desperately want to communicate with one another, but can’t’.

         Dr Powell Answers:

• “If you have your primary language compromised then that would be a perfect set up for telepathy,” she said, “because here you have a child and a parent who desperately want to communicate with one another.” 

• “To get three of them correct it would be one out of nine, times one out of nine, times one out of nine, which is one out of 729”

• “It’s very risky to one’s credibility to take on a subject like this. I am as confident that telepathy exists as I am of a lot of things that are actually accepted by science.”
