The Iron will not tolerate magic. The only person who can wield that power is a blacksmith. Hence iron is inserted to drive out supposed magic. Why the step father did it you can only imagine - was it the local witch that suggested it - a hand me down remedy - or was as with the acid victim boy a priest at the end of this, telling the step father that the child was possessed and to use iron to drive out the evil spirits. It does sound priestly because the idea of iron being used is religious in source the power of the iron driven in causing pain then drives out evil. But I would not blame the step father too much - magic in this area is feared who do you turn too - and if they say you need to do this or the child is lost and you will be cursed and all your friends and family say you must do it.
