Uplifting in the fact she was rescued and is getting the attention she needs though.

That's the only redeeming part of it. I found that quite heart breaking... That sort of shit still happens? Though I know similar cases that are taking place in the NT right now.


My father put it quite adequately actually. 'That sort of abuse is worse than murder.' I might write about my 'little sister' later actually in this thread. Similar, if less extreme, story.

Edit.

When I talk about my little sister I mean we, along with my aunt and uncle, were the people who adopted her... Not the abusers...

its coming up on a year since my business partners daughter passed away, and this story has definitely struck a nerve.

stories like this put everything into perspective....suddenly, loneliness and cunt ex in-laws arent so bad anymore.

thanks for sharing man.

I read the entire report but I couldn't bring myself to look at the pictures.  The only thing worse than taking somebody's life is never giving them the chance to live.  Danielle's mother deserves life in prison, at least.

on the positive:  I'm glad she's in a home with loving family.  More often than not, I'm sure these stories don't end well.

on the negative:  Is there any punishment severe enough for this child's birth mother?  I cannot think of retribution worthy of the crime she committed.

The mother should be left to rot in a jail cell for the rest of her life.

Usually I would agree, liberalism extends to many things - but not when it comes t treatment of children or animals.

Yeah that still happens. I remember hearing about some parents stuffing their girl in a closet for her life. When police found here she couldn't speak.

This made scientists understand that the brain brutally cuts off un-used functions that its capable of, in this case, speech.

Wow...

The adoptive parents are true heroes.  That is serious love and dedication.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with our "justice system" when a "parent" (I don't think the mother should qualify, but I dont' know the right term...monster perhaps...) can get off with probation.  That isn't just neglect, that is attempted murder, IMO.  I can't comprehend how any "parent" could competely disregard the life of their child--parental duty is right up there with pure survival in terms of human priorities, sometimes even beyond personal survival. 
I am amazed that no one involved beat the crap out of her...seriously, just reading that made me furious...I'm not sure I could restrain myself in such a situation.

Nice to see stories about good folk out there.  Still tragic though.  People like her should not be permitted children to begin with.

That isn't enough. I normally wouldn't say that somebody doesn't deserve life, but that mother doesn't. She deserves to be tortured and killed in the worst, unimaginable way possible.

I can't believe that the police actually traded jail time for her parental rights, how the fuck is that justice?

WHAT THE FUCK!?

Sick fucking mother should be lynched and dismembered.  What a heart-wrenching read.  I cannot imagine being so negelcted that speaking is an impossible task due to never being taught or fucking exposed to it.

Absolutely, dreadfully, grossly, horrific.

I know the mothers at fault but based on her IQ level (77) she isnt very capable of anything.

I feel more sorry for her kid than hatred towards the mom tbh.

Wow. As I was reading that, I immediately drew parallels to the Genie case of the '70s mentioned somewhere in that article. There was a video we watched about her and the French kid when learning about development in AP Psych. The video footage is unholy.

Not to mention the "Perfect Storm" of bad things that happened to the family concerning the husband dying, cousin not helping them, mom getting banged up by a stranger, and the 77 IQ no effort attitude by the mother wasn't gonna do anything to help Dani.

I'm just glad that they got her before she died, to know that there might be more cases like this out there is ridiculous.

77 can't be that bad.  Isn't 100 average?

75 actually.

IQ is just the ratio of your intelligence to what is considered "normal" for your age. The ratio was based on 1.0 being normal, so Forrest would be at .75. The system of IQ was changed to get rid of the decimal places and express the ratio as a whole number.
