She was abused sexually, physically, likely verbally, starved and kept from seeing the light of day, but she still was able to smile when she was rescued? That poor girl, I'm glad this didn't kill her
Someone finally taking you out, and you get to be outside. You can eat too. Its the greatest feeling. Its not sad. It's the best day of your life. Your friends become real and they can pick you up and clean you and feed you and the light under the door with all the hours of shadows going by isn't all you watch anymore. I know it's odd to see that smile, but I swear to you it's very real how happy she was being set free.
I know, it's just the ability to be able to make that expression. Unfortunately though, the abuse was too much for her mentally. She has been convicted of sexual assault recently.
@@memecitycentralpark.2289 But I'm sure animals don't keep their young locked in a small space in their own homes only to never let them out and to starve them.
It is not God that causes this to happen. Man has been given free will. Some will suffer because of it. This is an example of man's inhumanity to man. (OF COURSE when I use the word "man" I mean men AND women).
Everyone complains about nosey neighbours, but honestly, this is the reason why I have a little look around whenever I visit someone's house, you never know where evil lurks.
Yes it's good to be that nosey neighbor...I called the police and children services on mine. My roommate told me that I should mind my own business when I would be worries becuase I could hear the little boy crying downstairs and a couple times I knocked and they would not answer. But I kept being that nosey neighbor where my heartless roommates was more annoyed at the crying ..I was stress out from the crying because I had a bad feeling. One day I marched downstairs and kicked and kicked and kicked that door until that bitch opened the door. And i walked inside and saw her little boy on the floor naked and crying. I pushed her and took her boy out and called the cops. She told me she was scolding him for wetting the bed. I wanted to hurt her. Well CPS came and they still let her keep him ......bull shit. I kept an eye on her and told her I was watching. Eventually I moved but the son was sent to live with her Aunt.
@@mlee8459 yep. I have been that "ass hole nosey neighbour" a couple of times. I saved this girl from being raped in a hotel room. I woke up to her screaming and no one was doing shit I was all the way down in the hall, the door wasn't fully closed so I kicked it open and he was naked and peaking on meth. That was crazy, was so sleep deprived and had too much adrenaline, was a really dumb idea. But police were called and she had bruises everywhere. And my neighbour is an elderly lady who keeps her two dogs in not amazing conditions (broken fence and lots of places for snakes/spiders to hide) so I fixed her backyard/made it a little safer for the pups. Being nosey can pay off sometimes!
@@biancat7761 ...that's the thing ppl always say mind your business and worry about yourself. But we care too much. ......dont get me started on the lady who was being dragged around the mall by her legs screaming for help. Ppl just watched and filmed on their phones.....while me having tunnel vision tried to take on this 6"5 guy lol Eventually the police came and cuffed him...the gf approached me as I thought she wanted to thank me but NOOOOO she was mad at me and said thanks to you my boyfriend is going to jail.. mind your business! I was so confused. I said you were screaming for help ..I thought you meant it lol Anyway told my husband when I got hone and he said to get a hobby. Lmfao
@@itzbirck8441 the first 8 are the foundationally formative years - everything that follows is informed and directed by the patterns established in those first years.
I don't know if she is saved consider the nightmares she still has. I just can't imagine why God, who sees everything, can watch such a abuse and don't react. And that for six years long. That is not pessimistic, that is a logical question, don't you agree?
ayy lmao 6 years is way too long as it is. If god is an all knowing all powerful being he's a complete asshole for letting this happen to a completely innocent and defenseless child.
Three reasons come to mind: (1) When we understand that God is gathering sufficient evidence to convict us [or acquit us], lawfully and fairly, you'd understand why He allows suffering. Cops don't jail a murderer just because they have a feeling that one day the person _might_ commit a crime depending on how they _might_ choose that day and in that moment, but only after the individual unlawfully kills somebody (and thus, there was a victim and sufficient witnesses-ample physical evidence of the crime). Without the option for suffering being allowed, you wouldn't be able to fairly/lawfully separate the malignant one from the blameless rest [they would protest, “but I wasn't even given the chance to commit the crime; this isn't fair”]. The suffering that mankind is allowed to inflict upon themselves and each other provides the evidence to fairly prosecute, jail, and/or put criminal people to death, thus separate the law-breaker from the rest. Likewise, for someone to be proven a sinner (a breaker of God's Law/a criminal), by definition there will be victims, even innocent casualties (who suffer at the hands [or by the mouth] of the sinner). And we will be judged for this on the ultimate judgment day, when both the righteous and wicked are raised from the dead, at the end of time (and before that, God sends judgments on earth, feeling the consequences of our own behavior, or our own behavior being returned on our own heads i.e. you starved someone, now you get starved) aside from earthly judgment rendered by governments/man's courts: • _Acts __24:15__ (NIV)_ 15 _and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have,_ _that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked._ • _John __5:28__-29 (NIV)_ 28 _“Do not be amazed at this,_ _for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice_ 29 _and come out-those who have done what is good will rise to live,_ _and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned._ • _2 Corinthians __5:10__ (NIV)_ 10 _For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,_ _so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body,_ _whether good or bad._ • _Matthew __12:36__-38 (NIV)_ 36 _But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken._ 37 _For by your words you will be acquitted,_ _and by your words you will be condemned.”_ • _Obadiah __1:15__ (NIV)_ 15 _“The day of the Lord is near_ _for all nations._ _As you have done,_ _it will be done to you;_ _your deeds will return upon your own head._ • _Romans 13:4 (NIV)_ 4 _For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good._ _But if you do wrong,_ _be afraid,_ _for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason._ _They are God’s servants,_ _agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer._ So, the suffering He allows has a purpose: fair acquisition of evidence. Lawful judgment. (2) Secondly, He's interested in molding creatures (us, His creations) to be loyal to Him, trusting in Him, even during times of suffering, when it's not easy to, just as much as when it is easy-in times of gladness, boredom, and even when it hurts. He wants us to learn that all kinds of circumstances (when endured with the right attitude and behavior) work towards the good of those who obey His Instructions, despite momentary pain in this life. He's molding creatures who do not resort to sin (e.g. who do not steal, kidnap, unlawfully kill, or be greedy, or any other sin), to alleviate themselves or anyone else of pain, but continue acting correctly / lawfully as He said to, trusting this will result in the greater good. • _John __14:15__ (NIV)_ 15 _“If you love me,_ _keep my commands._ • _Romans __8:28__ (NIV)_ 28 _And we know that in_ *all* _things God works for the good of those who love him,_ _who[a]_ _have been called according to his purpose._ Footnotes: Romans 8:28 Or _that all things work together for good to those who love God,_ _who;_ or _that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good-with those who_ Our fulfillment and joy comes from: our relationship with Him, walking in ways that He finds pleasing, thus walking in His Commands (even in the midst of suffering), • _Job __6:10__ (NIV)_ 10 _Then I would still have this consolation-_ _my joy in unrelenting pain-_ _that I had not denied the words of the Holy One._ ...and in trusting Him and caring for His creation the way He said-not in doing things our own way (which, if it contradicts His Way, will only cause harm in the long run, even if there is some immediate “benefit”/pleasure. His instructions, when heeded, would guard us from the natural negative consequences that are inflicted, both short term and spanning generations upon generations, that we do not have the foresight to see. • _Deuteronomy __4:40__ (NIV)_ 40 _Keep his decrees and commands,_ _which I am giving you today,_ _so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time._ • _Joshua 1:8 (NIV)_ 8 _Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips;_ _meditate on it day and night,_ _so that you may be careful to do everything written in it._ _Then you will be prosperous and successful._ At the end of the day, whether we're the perpetrator of sin or the blameless victim (or half victim / half accomplice), we choose how we will react to the situation (while in it and after it [if we survive]); and we're all being tested to see whether we trust in our Creator and His instructions, as who and what we value most, or whether we trust more in rebellious creation [a deviant suggestion in ourselves or outside of ourselves spoken by others] in place of our Creator. We're tested to see whether we will resort to breaking Commands for some perceived, momentary pleasure or comfort, that in reality is to our own detriment and that of others, thus why YHWH Commanded against it. And lastly, [3] God proves His warnings and instructions true (thus trustworthy): when one breaks YHWH's Commands for how to properly interact with His creation, someone suffers, in the immediate and/or in the long run, just like He said-e.g. Adam and Eve sinned by interacting with creation in an improper manner; consequently, they invited death into all of creation, just like He warned them. The consequences are real (whether the act is adultery, bearing false witness, stealing [taking without legitimate permission], greed, unlawful killing, eating things you were never meant to eat, etc); creation will get hurt, yourself included (physically and/or emotionally wounded), sooner or later, often both. We will learn to trust in the Creator's instructions in one of two ways: the easy way (which is through our obedience, simply trusting what He said, and then as we go through life, learning of the danger we avoided) or the hard way (which is through our disobedience, suffering the negative consequences first hand or seeing how we affected the other, and then realizing, “ah that's why He said not to do that, or to go do that instead”). YHWH proves Himself true. So, in a nutshell some of the reasons why He allows suffering: [1] He's allowing us to be tested to reveal what is in us with fairly gathered evidence, thus providing just grounds for lawful judgment, to condemn us or acquit us, by how we react to the situation that He allowed. (Do we trust Him and what He said? Or do we not? Do we care for His creations in the way He said or do we not?) whatever we live through, and whatever crosses our paths, will test that. [2] even when we don't deserve the suffering, it is used to mold us into creatures who trust Him, regardless of the circumstances, good or bad, looking to Him and His way as our source of joy and safety, even when enduring unmerited, hurtful reactions from others. He's molding us into souls who trust in His way of thinking, speaking, and acting as safest and most beneficial even if the immediate reaction from the rebellious creation is pain. [3] YHWH proving Himself true and His warnings reliable; things happen as He said they would. - Ultimately, those who are victorious through these trials and testings, who choose righteousness and guard a clean conscience in how they relate towards God and creation, according to YHWH's Commands, will live with Him forever, a place where there is no sin. • _2 Peter __3:13__-14 (NIV)_ 13 _But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,_ _where righteousness dwells._ 14 _So then,_ _dear friends,_ _since you are looking forward to this,_ _make every effort to be found spotless,_ _blameless and at peace with him._ • _Romans __8:13__ (NIV)_ 13 _For if you live according to the flesh,_ _you will die;_ _but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,_ _you will live._ • _Colossians 3:5-10 (NIV)_ 5 _Put to death,_ _therefore,_ _whatever belongs to your earthly nature:_ _sexual immorality,_ _impurity,_ _lust,_ _evil desires and greed,_ _which is idolatry._ 6 _Because of these,_ _the wrath of God is coming.[a]_ 7 _You used to walk in these ways,_ _in the life you once lived._ 8 _But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these:_ _anger,_ _rage,_ _malice,_ _slander,_ _and filthy language from your lips._ 9 _Do not lie to each other,_ _since you have taken off your old self with its practices_ 10 _and have put on the new self,_ _which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator._ Footnotes: a. Colossians 3:6 Some early manuscripts _coming on those who are disobedient_ He will live with those who were proven righteous and put on Christ's nature. That said, Shalom / Peace be with you, in Jesus' Name. ♡
Hi Cherry you can never understand them, those Cruel Sadistic EVIL MONSTERS like Barbie, because you're a decent, moral, gentle, loving, compassionate human being. I have researched these Vile EVIL MONSTERS(Sociopaths, Psychopaths) for over 15 yrs. Through numerous interviews these EVIL MONSTERS described their feelings as "the Ultimate High", " feeling like Superman, God", "feeling Great Pleasure, Joy, Ecstasy, Euphoria" when they severely tortured, raped, murdered babies/children, and women. All of them feel no guilt, remorse, shame or empathy for the tremendous pain and sufferings they inflicted on the innocent victims-children and women. Now don't you agree that these are EVIL DEMONS in human bodies or EVIL MONSTERS?
+Logical1 Analyze There are evil, sadistic people in this world and I believe they are possessed and under the control of Satan himself. I agree with you that they are demons in human bodies. It is happening today just like Bible times. Satan never changes! Fortunately we have a God of love who is willing to transform the human heart and bring kindness, compassion, mercy and self sacrificial love into a human life. This is the epic battle between good and evil and each one of us have to decide whom we will stand with.....Jesus or Satan.
+Logical1 Analyze Apparently you should do more research, because not all sociopaths/psychopaths are like that. And besides that, people without diagnosed mental condition are also capable to do this. It sounds like your "research" is watching Criminal Minds.
+cherry Path -- They are mentally ill. It's mental disease. I have an older brother and sister who are mentally ill with this same unrepentant attitude. Getting their diseased minds to even admit that, 2+2=4, if it works against them, they will not agree with your math no matter how true and clear it is to everyone else. I understand why people do this and why people cannot see their wrong. No matter how large the wrong to a death. That has happened in my family. And they still do not see their wrongs. They will not see, admit, or understand the truth. It is impossible for them. There are many symptomatic behaviors such as a lack of empathy and others that prevent their diseased minds from understanding their wrong. This is no excuse. This is just the reality of mental illness.
Philthe Stalker all mental illness is different and it's truly awful that innocent kids suffer, my husband has a bad mental illness and I pray this could never be possible for him
I want nothing more in life, than a child. 6 early losses. One still birth. Yet people like this can have children. My heart breaks. I just wanna hold her , show her real love .
U shud adopt...I know it won't be the same as having ur own, but u can still try at the same time as raising a kid who doesn't have the luxury of having parents
Jason Atkins Wtf is wrong with you? Seriously! This girl was subjected to and survived things no person let alone a child should have to endure. And have you considered that medications for depression and PTSD may have led to her weight. Or maybe the freedom to eat after being starved for 8 years of her life by the 2 people in the world who were suppose to take care of her.
Jason Atkins Again you are calling this girl fat. And again what the fuck is wrong with you. Fact or not it is still wrong in the sense that it is rude. She's endured enough in her 23 years. Does she really have to endure people calling her fat? Just because she may be overweight doesn't mean you aren't a asshole for saying it.
She is still going to need therapy because those memories are locked in her brain. Eventually, as she gets older it will come back in a vengeance once she is much older. Therapy will be needed no matter what!
Vivi Dorsey She's physically fine but not really mentally fine, she has nightmares and flashbacks which cause her to break. On the doctor Phil show her spoke out
Literally started crying when those pictures were shown, I have a 2 year old daughter who weighs 25lbs and I don’t see how someone is capable of doing this to an innocent child or anyone, how pityful I pray god reins down judgment and wrath on evil people who do these things and abuse children
Katie - I pray God will show them you can't treat children this way. I do hope they help her get therapy - otherwise - even if she's smiling she may not remember or understand but later the brain will bring back those memories and unless she has some help it will bother her as she gets older. Believe me, I know about the abuse.
Bless you Lauren. You're amazingly strong and have survivied the unimaginable..I'm so sorry you're mother failed you on so many levels and the system failed you..Love, blessings, and happiness will be your future..Those that tortured you as an innocent baby, will pay for their crimes against you.Love from Australia x
Remy O who the child jesus christ why? is it becus thats all she knows but surely she would have learned from the media and society by now what is right and what is rong and why would she admit it?
You’re right the system did fail her. How many counseling sessions do you think they gave her before the system through her in some random foster home? Poor child
@Krioque uhm...is this the 1700s where this make belief person exists? First of all her disgusting parents put her in this situation. God is a man made construct for ppl to blame things on. Oh you stole money? God made ya do it. Oh you killed your kid? God made ya do it. See how easy it is if you have your make belief man in the sky to blame?
They did it for the simple act of being sociopathic, they saw her as an odd child and felt the need to change her, they said how she was different and always quiet and that ticked them to cause harm to her, they're not psychotic but sociopathic under these terms
Oh my god. This baby is precious. Even as an adult she is absolutely beautiful. That poor baby had hope and she kept fighting, I could never imagine this happening to any of my family members. Whether it be my sisters or my cousins, this is absolutely heartbreaking and I can't help but shed so many tears for her and what she had to endure. Her voice, her dimples and the way she just moved as a little girl made me want to squeeze her so tight and take her away from that hell myself...
My heart is breaking and Im in tears. How any one could treat a child like this derserves to be put in that closet just the way it is w no food no water lock the door n walk away n let them suffer n die for this. Im so happy SHE is found and look how happy.she was when she was found they said huge smile..Very BEAUTIFUL little girl she will definitely be with awesome loving family who will spoil her n love her..I would love to adopt her..It's a miracle ending. She will never have to live like that again...
I’m seeing a lot of comments here about how good and strong she is for smiling after all this abuse. I’d like to point out that while she is INCREDIBLY strong, smiling is not always a sign of happiness or being “okay”. It’s a way to cope with everything that has happened. Prayers to this brave little girl. I hope she finds healing. - a girl who was abused
No that's too young in most cases. Just because an individual is sexual mature doesn't mean they're ready to be having sex. That would lead to tons of children being coerced. The age of consent should be about 16 or 17 and in certain cases they could use some sort of competency/maturity test.
eroshiyda Yeah, she’s also been charged with sexual assault for engaging in a sexual relationship with a minor (14 year old girl). She was indicted for said crime last year and admitted to the accusations against her.
I keep thinking to myself how anyone could stand being in a filthy closet with no food for 8 years straight & come out sane but then I remember that’s literally what she was born into, it’s ALL she knew. She never knew a life outside of it & had no hope of a better life at only 8 years old, and then she was saved. She’s a strong woman.
Bless that poor girl's heart. All that horror and it didn't take your smile away. I pray an unceasing shower of blessings on your life. Youre a fighter and a survivor.
I can’t imagine even putting a little in a closet for a time-out. Like just that to me is disgusting. Then to even think about what this little girl went through... I can’t even fathom it tbh.
Oh poor baby my heart goes out to you I was abused also as a child not to this extent but I have ptsd because of it my best friends mom ended up taking me in and removing me from the situation thank god you guys rescued her thank you so much 😊
Idk y I keep coming back to this story. It enrages me ...makes me feel so helpless. My heart breaks for the children of this world who are abused. I can't take it
I wish Lauren all the love and healing in the world. My heart goes out to her. What horrible acts of savagery she endured as a child. Thank God she was finally rescued.
Me too, i would make her parents go through what Lauren went through. I would love to watch her parents suffer. No food or drink. I would let them die of hunger
The only thing that keeps me going sometimes is to say to myself, there are more good people than bad. Whether that's true or not I don't know but I like to think so. Poor wee soul still finding the courage to smile. Breaks my heart
There are no words 😶 That somebody could take a precious child. Defenceless, loving and needing love and protection, deserving those two basic things and treat them so badly? There are no words. Thank you to the brave souls who eventually set her free🙏🏻
I just found out that about a year ago she was arrested for sexually assaulting a minor. This is insane, the torture she went through as a child she is developmentally delayed. It's awful these ppl messed her up for the rest of her life.
Lauren, the victim in this case, was arrested in 2018 and indicted in February 2019 on the three counts of sexual assault of a child and could face up to 20 years in prison on each charge if she is convicted. She’s been deemed incompetent to stand trial but they haven’t yet transferred her a psychiatric facility. imagine if this poor girl hadn’t suffered this abuse, maybe she wouldn’t have produced victims of her own
That’s so sad and disappointing to hear. I wish the system didn’t fail her. They should have provided rehabilitation that most individuals that suffer abuse need post-trauma. It’s a terrible but eye-opening update, thanks for that.
Ohhh that's so sad. We can't help but imagine an abused child will grow up to beat the trauma and become a beautiful person inside and out. Thanks for the update
@@catsom9618 It's nobody's fault, because it's not that simple. Even frequent, good, RESIDENTIAL treatment cannot undo years of neglect. We aim to improve the outcome, but there is only so much that people can do when the brain is so limited in development.
that is a common pattern actually. those who have been abused growing up will likely develop the same pattern of abuse and it will continue to repeat unless they control themselves. in this case its no wonder but its really tragic that both her and the teenager had to go through something like that
Wasn’t she & her girlfriend on the Dr Phil show?? It was the saddest story ever... even her story after getting rescued is still sad (she gets raped again by her foster/adoptive/kinship(?) family’s friends)
The story behind the tub of butter is more sad then you would think... according to laurens oldest sister on the Doctor Phil show, she snuck the tub of butter into the closet so her sister could eat..
I fucking hate this. Sorry, this is just so sad and rage-inducing. Like, imagine. It's not bad enough that they torture one child, they scare the other children who fear for her well-being so bad that they would risk something like that... And were legitimately fucking terrified for her sister's hunger. 😡😡😡
Who else is here after hearing she has been charged for s*xually assaulting a minor? It’s so heartbreaking. This is a common cycle, victims becoming perpetrators. Breaks my soul into two.
That's very sad to hear.... Of course it cannever excuse the actions she took, it's so heartbreaking that her suffering/trauma she experienced is likely what lead her to where she is now.
Thats horrible. Im glad she survived but wow. She was 8 and 25 pounds. I cant believe she didnt die. When I was 8 I was probably about 80 to 90 pound. Thats seriously insane.
No no no why had she have to live in this way for eight years!!! im a mum of two year old girl and I can’t even stay calm without bursting into tears by this popped out clip all of a sudden. I live in Japan and most modern house are small and locate close to each other so once kids crying and screaming you’ll notice and if you keep hearing it more than a hour, you call the police or rescue for children
I still remember watching this on the news when she was found…….. I held onto my two boys tightly crying. When they asked why, I could barely find the words to explain the cruelty of others and what that little girl must have gone through. My oldest ask me if we could go get her and show her what love and family really is. I honestly wished I could have.
As a child who was tortured my entire childhood, i know what she feels I wish we could have a requirement for everyone to be evacuated every month to be sure children are not being abused
How can someone be the cruel my heart breaks 💔 no one helped her even the abusers friends abused her and thought it was funny. I hope this traumatic situation doesn’t break her when she grows older, I hope she is able to make something out of her life 💛
I just saw the moms apology video She is not sorry she is only sorry now because she's in jail It is disgusting I cannot even explain how disgusted I am
unfortunately many people who were abused as children will abuse others later on if they don't get proper help. She did, but I assume she was so badly abused that they couldn't help her. It's really sad. I hope she changes as a person once she's out of the mental institution and can move on to live a somewhat normal life
What an amazing child to still be able to smile , I’m a 35 year old bloke and sadly witnessed some horrificthings and I still had a tear in my eye watching this
All that pain, torment, and agony that child went through :( yet she smiled...her innocence stolen yet she smiled...God bless her always and give her strength to overcome this horrible past 🙏
I believe one of them is the case of Genie Wiley. She was strapped to a potty chair, in a dark room with hardly any food, water or stimulation to learn how to walk, talk, and things like that. She was in total isolation for most of her childhood.
Don't feel bad about something that is out of your control. Maybe it wasn't that bad but for YOU in your case it was bad enough. Hang in there strong lad, have a nice day
That one girl who likes Rush Dude he is a troll, fuck him. Block him away and let him troll somewhere else. I'm sorry there had to be assholes. If you want to talk I'm here *hug*
course she smiled shes safe now! so happy shes safe.... beautiful little girl... glad she was rescued omg the closet!!!!! animals get taken care of better! so happy she is safe from this abuse!
I’m just wondering how the hell she survived it? She was so tiny it shows her strength and determination. Keep strong and never give up. Love and support from us all.
it's so sad to know that, that same very girl is charged of 3 sexual assaults of a child in 2019 :( it shows that bad things can really occur in a cycle because she most certainly carried that from her past childhood trauma and wanted other children to experience the same suffering she went through. it's so disappointing and sad but not surprising due to the fact that trauma can either impact you to improve or just worsen you :/, but it should never be an excuse towards ur behaviour
@Krioque Using the concept of "common sense" here is inherently flawed considering nothing about how she was raised was common or sensical in any way. Do we say seismic activity is the excuse a volcano has for erupting? No we say it was the cause.
Children who have been abused need to know what it feels like to be the perpetrator. With therapy they can, typically with good play therapy. Abusers are made when people don't get the help that they need.
@Krioque how? All i see in ur comment is ableist language being used to dehumanize or belittle someone who wasn't raised in the same common world that you were. Common sense is literally just people saying "well if you were nOrMaL like the rest of us then you wouldn't be sUcH a mOnStEr. But you don't have "common sense" / You wouldn't do these things if you weren't stupid". The entire concept of "common sense" is a neurotypical and socially normative concept that is damaging and reductive to anyone who is "different" or grew up "differently", and its especially damaging in cases where mental health alters behaviour and social perception such as this one. "Common sense" isn't actually a thing, speaking as someone studying to get a doctorate to become a sexologist, its just a way that people console themselves by telling themselves that MOST people agree with what THEY think. Anytime someone says "its just common sense", they are almost always concluding an argument and just either ran out of supporting arguments or don't know how to communicate supporting evidence for their argument. Its just a way of feeling like your comprehension of something is widely shared and therefor if someone disagrees or does contrary to what you labeled "common sense" you can just discredit them cuz you already decided your opinion is just a fundamental natural fact that people can just "sense" is the truth. Realistically, when people are abused, if people actually cared about facts, a "universal common sense" would dictate that VERY VERY VERY commonly (much more commonly than not) abused children/people grow up and perpetuate the cycle of abuse. Even then, not everyone does, but this is why "common sense" is an arbitrary false dichotomy even when applied with full comprehension of the objective facts related to a specific situation. But to say common sense would dictate that abused people wouldn't want to abuse others is so far removed from reality that idk how to even make a metaphor for it at this point. Really, it isn't about wether they want to or not. People who WANT to abuse others are called s.adists. People who were abused and perpetuate the cycle are usually not "wanting" to hurt others, they just don't know how to control their feelings so that they don't. In this case, the minor was 14, and not saying this makes it okay but the girl probably has a very stunted mental and emotional development and likely felt that she related more to the 14 yr old than ppl her own age. To her, "common sense" was finding people she could relate to and when she found someone, she probably didn't recognize her own lifestyle as an adult would be potentially harmful for a minor to be expected to participate in. I doubt she wanted to cause pain and the minor doesn't seem to be traumatized by it which is good. But again, that doesn't make it healthy, and it just goes to show how dubious the concept of "common sense" is, especially when applied to trauma.
This kind of thing happens with children of sexual abuse.... they reenact their abuse onto others when they don't get the right help. Its never okay. But sexual offending is far more likely in cases of childhood sexual abuse
Im so sorry for this baby im so sorry. My heart is breaking to pieces. How can anyone do this? Tears are rolling down. I wish i could hug her and protect her for the rest of her life
xs_ fox can’t stand when people do this. They say it like it’s what dogs should be treated like too. No animal should be treated in any situation near her condition. They treated her “like a dog”. Honestly no human or animal should be treated in this way. To say it like it’s okay to treat a dog like hat away is horrifying. I agree 100 percent with you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's very animalistic in the sense of base instinct. Without emotion or care. Plenty of animals kill their young for no observable, obvious reason. It happens all day, every day. All species. We aren't separate from animals. We are animals.
She was abused sexually, physically, likely verbally, starved and kept from seeing the light of day, but she still was able to smile when she was rescued?
That poor girl, I'm glad this didn't kill her
Siphy these words just hit me like a shoe to the face . That poor baby
Someone finally taking you out, and you get to be outside. You can eat too. Its the greatest feeling. Its not sad. It's the best day of your life. Your friends become real and they can pick you up and clean you and feed you and the light under the door with all the hours of shadows going by isn't all you watch anymore. I know it's odd to see that smile, but I swear to you it's very real how happy she was being set free.
That poor thing :(
I know, it's just the ability to be able to make that expression.
Unfortunately though, the abuse was too much for her mentally. She has been convicted of sexual assault recently.

I hate how people refer to horrible acts as animalistic... an animal would never do these awful things, only humans would
Anne Bell true
EXACTLY.
I KNOW RIGHT
Anne Bell
They mean that wild animals don't have remorse for things that they do.
@@memecitycentralpark.2289 But I'm sure animals don't keep their young locked in a small space in their own homes only to never let them out and to starve them.
if god ever gave me a wish I would ask Justice for all the children and animals that have been abused and killed by monsters.
He will take care of these animals someday ..In his own way Rest assured.
Cherish and be proud your nature is an empath. We are also sadly, more effected by all the bad stuff.
my goodness me too
My words exactly.
It is not God that causes this to happen. Man has been given free will. Some will suffer because of it. This is an example of man's inhumanity to man. (OF COURSE when I use the word "man" I mean men AND women).
Everyone complains about nosey neighbours, but honestly, this is the reason why I have a little look around whenever I visit someone's house, you never know where evil lurks.
Makes me think twice about my dildo placement. Yikes
This is kind of invading privacy..
Yes it's good to be that nosey neighbor...I called the police and children services on mine. My roommate told me that I should mind my own business when I would be worries becuase I could hear the little boy crying downstairs and a couple times I knocked and they would not answer. But I kept being that nosey neighbor where my heartless roommates was more annoyed at the crying ..I was stress out from the crying because I had a bad feeling. One day I marched downstairs and kicked and kicked and kicked that door until that bitch opened the door. And i walked inside and saw her little boy on the floor naked and crying. I pushed her and took her boy out and called the cops. She told me she was scolding him for wetting the bed. I wanted to hurt her.
Well CPS came and they still let her keep him ......bull shit.
I kept an eye on her and told her I was watching. Eventually I moved but the son was sent to live with her Aunt.
@@mlee8459 yep. I have been that "ass hole nosey neighbour" a couple of times. I saved this girl from being raped in a hotel room. I woke up to her screaming and no one was doing shit I was all the way down in the hall, the door wasn't fully closed so I kicked it open and he was naked and peaking on meth. That was crazy, was so sleep deprived and had too much adrenaline, was a really dumb idea. But police were called and she had bruises everywhere.
And my neighbour is an elderly lady who keeps her two dogs in not amazing conditions (broken fence and lots of places for snakes/spiders to hide) so I fixed her backyard/made it a little safer for the pups.
Being nosey can pay off sometimes!
@@biancat7761 ...that's the thing ppl always say mind your business and worry about yourself. But we care too much. ......dont get me started on the lady who was being dragged around the mall by her legs screaming for help. Ppl just watched and filmed on their phones.....while me having tunnel vision tried to take on this 6"5 guy lol
Eventually the police came and cuffed him...the gf approached me as I thought she wanted to thank me but NOOOOO she was mad at me and said thanks to you my boyfriend is going to jail.. mind your business! I was so confused. I said you were screaming for help ..I thought you meant it lol
Anyway told my husband when I got hone and he said to get a hobby. Lmfao
did this just show up in anyone else’s recommended out of no where. i’m scared.
Yeah This video did show up as recommended. Pretty random. Poor lil girl n disgusting parents,I might add.
Saaammmmeeee
I have been watching dogs and this shows up? I’m spooked
It’s gaining traction because of dr phill
Yes it did, and I hate it!Makes me sick.Thank goodness she was rescued.
she was robbed of a childhood
seriously, how does someone live any semblance of a normal life after that start?
Ivan Thorn she werent robbed it she still have years but she lost 8 years of it
OoMyWorldOo You sound dumb. You think someone is just going to get over being treated like that for so long in just a few years? Think, child, think.
And a human hood as well
@@itzbirck8441 the first 8 are the foundationally formative years - everything that follows is informed and directed by the patterns established in those first years.
All I can say is thank God she escaped that hellish torture.
Sui Cide IKR
Only God was a little bit late don't you think?
I don't know if she is saved consider the nightmares she still has. I just can't imagine why God, who sees everything, can watch such a abuse and don't react. And that for six years long.
That is not pessimistic, that is a logical question, don't you agree?
ayy lmao 6 years is way too long as it is. If god is an all knowing all powerful being he's a complete asshole for letting this happen to a completely innocent and defenseless child.
Three reasons come to mind:
(1) When we understand that God is gathering sufficient evidence to convict us [or acquit us], lawfully and fairly, you'd understand why He allows suffering. Cops don't jail a murderer just because they have a feeling that one day the person _might_ commit a crime depending on how they _might_ choose that day and in that moment, but only after the individual unlawfully kills somebody (and thus, there was a victim and sufficient witnesses-ample physical evidence of the crime). Without the option for suffering being allowed, you wouldn't be able to fairly/lawfully separate the malignant one from the blameless rest [they would protest, “but I wasn't even given the chance to commit the crime; this isn't fair”]. The suffering that mankind is allowed to inflict upon themselves and each other provides the evidence to fairly prosecute, jail, and/or put criminal people to death, thus separate the law-breaker from the rest.
Likewise, for someone to be proven a sinner (a breaker of God's Law/a criminal), by definition there will be victims, even innocent casualties (who suffer at the hands [or by the mouth] of the sinner). And we will be judged for this on the ultimate judgment day, when both the righteous and wicked are raised from the dead, at the end of time (and before that, God sends judgments on earth, feeling the consequences of our own behavior, or our own behavior being returned on our own heads i.e. you starved someone, now you get starved) aside from earthly judgment rendered by governments/man's courts:
• _Acts __24:15__ (NIV)_
15 _and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have,_ _that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked._
• _John __5:28__-29 (NIV)_
28 _“Do not be amazed at this,_ _for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice_ 29 _and come out-those who have done what is good will rise to live,_ _and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned._
• _2 Corinthians __5:10__ (NIV)_
10 _For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,_ _so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body,_ _whether good or bad._
• _Matthew __12:36__-38 (NIV)_
36 _But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken._ 37 _For by your words you will be acquitted,_ _and by your words you will be condemned.”_
• _Obadiah __1:15__ (NIV)_
15 _“The day of the Lord is near_
_for all nations._
_As you have done,_ _it will be done to you;_
_your deeds will return upon your own head._
• _Romans 13:4 (NIV)_
4 _For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good._ _But if you do wrong,_ _be afraid,_ _for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason._ _They are God’s servants,_ _agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer._
So, the suffering He allows has a purpose: fair acquisition of evidence. Lawful judgment.
(2) Secondly, He's interested in molding creatures (us, His creations) to be loyal to Him, trusting in Him, even during times of suffering, when it's not easy to, just as much as when it is easy-in times of gladness, boredom, and even when it hurts. He wants us to learn that all kinds of circumstances (when endured with the right attitude and behavior) work towards the good of those who obey His Instructions, despite momentary pain in this life. He's molding creatures who do not resort to sin (e.g. who do not steal, kidnap, unlawfully kill, or be greedy, or any other sin), to alleviate themselves or anyone else of pain, but continue acting correctly / lawfully as He said to, trusting this will result in the greater good.
• _John __14:15__ (NIV)_
15 _“If you love me,_ _keep my commands._
• _Romans __8:28__ (NIV)_
28 _And we know that in_ *all* _things God works for the good of those who love him,_ _who[a]_ _have been called according to his purpose._
Footnotes:
Romans 8:28 Or _that all things work together for good to those who love God,_ _who;_ or _that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good-with those who_
Our fulfillment and joy comes from: our relationship with Him, walking in ways that He finds pleasing, thus walking in His Commands (even in the midst of suffering),
• _Job __6:10__ (NIV)_
10 _Then I would still have this consolation-_
_my joy in unrelenting pain-_
_that I had not denied the words of the Holy One._
...and in trusting Him and caring for His creation the way He said-not in doing things our own way (which, if it contradicts His Way, will only cause harm in the long run, even if there is some immediate “benefit”/pleasure. His instructions, when heeded, would guard us from the natural negative consequences that are inflicted, both short term and spanning generations upon generations, that we do not have the foresight to see.
• _Deuteronomy __4:40__ (NIV)_
40 _Keep his decrees and commands,_ _which I am giving you today,_ _so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time._
• _Joshua 1:8 (NIV)_
8 _Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips;_ _meditate on it day and night,_ _so that you may be careful to do everything written in it._ _Then you will be prosperous and successful._
At the end of the day, whether we're the perpetrator of sin or the blameless victim (or half victim / half accomplice), we choose how we will react to the situation (while in it and after it [if we survive]); and we're all being tested to see whether we trust in our Creator and His instructions, as who and what we value most, or whether we trust more in rebellious creation [a deviant suggestion in ourselves or outside of ourselves spoken by others] in place of our Creator. We're tested to see whether we will resort to breaking Commands for some perceived, momentary pleasure or comfort, that in reality is to our own detriment and that of others, thus why YHWH Commanded against it.
And lastly,
[3] God proves His warnings and instructions true (thus trustworthy): when one breaks YHWH's Commands for how to properly interact with His creation, someone suffers, in the immediate and/or in the long run, just like He said-e.g. Adam and Eve sinned by interacting with creation in an improper manner; consequently, they invited death into all of creation, just like He warned them. The consequences are real (whether the act is adultery, bearing false witness, stealing [taking without legitimate permission], greed, unlawful killing, eating things you were never meant to eat, etc); creation will get hurt, yourself included (physically and/or emotionally wounded), sooner or later, often both.
We will learn to trust in the Creator's instructions in one of two ways: the easy way (which is through our obedience, simply trusting what He said, and then as we go through life, learning of the danger we avoided) or the hard way (which is through our disobedience, suffering the negative consequences first hand or seeing how we affected the other, and then realizing, “ah that's why He said not to do that, or to go do that instead”). YHWH proves Himself true.
So, in a nutshell some of the reasons why He allows suffering:
[1] He's allowing us to be tested to reveal what is in us with fairly gathered evidence, thus providing just grounds for lawful judgment, to condemn us or acquit us, by how we react to the situation that He allowed. (Do we trust Him and what He said? Or do we not? Do we care for His creations in the way He said or do we not?) whatever we live through, and whatever crosses our paths, will test that.
[2] even when we don't deserve the suffering, it is used to mold us into creatures who trust Him, regardless of the circumstances, good or bad, looking to Him and His way as our source of joy and safety, even when enduring unmerited, hurtful reactions from others. He's molding us into souls who trust in His way of thinking, speaking, and acting as safest and most beneficial even if the immediate reaction from the rebellious creation is pain.
[3] YHWH proving Himself true and His warnings reliable; things happen as He said they would.
-
Ultimately, those who are victorious through these trials and testings, who choose righteousness and guard a clean conscience in how they relate towards God and creation, according to YHWH's Commands, will live with Him forever, a place where there is no sin.
• _2 Peter __3:13__-14 (NIV)_
13 _But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,_ _where righteousness dwells._
14 _So then,_ _dear friends,_ _since you are looking forward to this,_ _make every effort to be found spotless,_ _blameless and at peace with him._
• _Romans __8:13__ (NIV)_
13 _For if you live according to the flesh,_ _you will die;_ _but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,_ _you will live._
• _Colossians 3:5-10 (NIV)_
5 _Put to death,_ _therefore,_ _whatever belongs to your earthly nature:_ _sexual immorality,_ _impurity,_ _lust,_ _evil desires and greed,_ _which is idolatry._ 6 _Because of these,_ _the wrath of God is coming.[a]_ 7 _You used to walk in these ways,_ _in the life you once lived._ 8 _But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these:_ _anger,_ _rage,_ _malice,_ _slander,_ _and filthy language from your lips._ 9 _Do not lie to each other,_ _since you have taken off your old self with its practices_ 10 _and have put on the new self,_ _which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator._

a. Colossians 3:6 Some early manuscripts _coming on those who are disobedient_
He will live with those who were proven righteous and put on Christ's nature.

Shalom / Peace be with you, in Jesus' Name. ♡
I can't understand how people can do this. This is sickening . 😢
Hi Cherry you can never understand them, those Cruel Sadistic EVIL MONSTERS like Barbie, because you're a decent, moral, gentle, loving, compassionate human being. I have researched these Vile EVIL MONSTERS(Sociopaths, Psychopaths) for over 15 yrs. Through numerous interviews these EVIL MONSTERS described their feelings as "the Ultimate High", " feeling like Superman, God", "feeling Great Pleasure, Joy, Ecstasy, Euphoria" when they severely tortured, raped, murdered babies/children, and women. All of them feel no guilt, remorse, shame or empathy for the tremendous pain and sufferings they inflicted on the innocent victims-children and women. Now don't you agree that these are EVIL DEMONS in human bodies or EVIL MONSTERS?
+Logical1 Analyze There are evil, sadistic people in this world and I believe they are possessed and under the control of Satan himself. I agree with you that they are demons in human bodies. It is happening today just like Bible times. Satan never changes! Fortunately we have a God of love who is willing to transform the human heart and bring kindness, compassion, mercy and self sacrificial love into a human life. This is the epic battle between good and evil and each one of us have to decide whom we will stand with.....Jesus or Satan.
+Logical1 Analyze Apparently you should do more research, because not all sociopaths/psychopaths are like that. And besides that, people without diagnosed mental condition are also capable to do this. It sounds like your "research" is watching Criminal Minds.
+cherry Path -- They are mentally ill. It's mental disease. I have an older brother and sister who are mentally ill with this same unrepentant attitude. Getting their diseased minds to even admit that, 2+2=4, if it works against them, they will not agree with your math no matter how true and clear it is to everyone else.
I understand why people do this and why people cannot see their wrong. No matter how large the wrong to a death. That has happened in my family. And they still do not see their wrongs. They will not see, admit, or understand the truth. It is impossible for them.
There are many symptomatic behaviors such as a lack of empathy and others that prevent their diseased minds from understanding their wrong.
This is no excuse. This is just the reality of mental illness.
Philthe Stalker all mental illness is different and it's truly awful that innocent kids suffer, my husband has a bad mental illness and I pray this could never be possible for him

Or maybe the freedom to eat after being starved for 8 years of her life by the 2 people in the world who were suppose to take care of her.
+Carolina Girl Isnt that exactly what I said? Why do you argue with facts just to have an loosing argument?
Jason Atkins Again you are calling this girl fat. And again what the fuck is wrong with you. Fact or not it is still wrong in the sense that it is rude. She's endured enough in her 23 years. Does she really have to endure people calling her fat? Just because she may be overweight doesn't mean you aren't a asshole for saying it.
+Carolina Girl So is she fat or not?
This young woman has incredible strength. To live through that and not lose her mind..I wish her all the best..
Stephanie M but she now can't sleep at night, so she is still suffering big time.
She is still going to need therapy because those memories are locked in her brain. Eventually, as she gets older it will come back in a vengeance once she is much older. Therapy will be needed no matter what!
@@Ace96ify Just like how you won't know you'll trip on air, there is no approximation for resurfacing memories. It will just happen.

"It was considered one of the third worst abuse cases where the child didn't die"
That seems really specific.
How can parents do this to their children ?
they are Psychopaths plain and simple they clearly had no feelings of affection towards their daughter
Suki Benson they probably were influenced by their own parents, or the people they hung around.
They did it for the simple act of being sociopathic, they saw her as an odd child and felt the need to change her, they said how she was different and always quiet and that ticked them to cause harm to her, they're not psychotic but sociopathic under these terms
They are not parents. They’re monsters.
DEPLORABLE TRUMP SUPPORTERS, go figure.
Oh my god.
This baby is precious. Even as an adult she is absolutely beautiful. That poor baby had hope and she kept fighting, I could never imagine this happening to any of my family members. Whether it be my sisters or my cousins, this is absolutely heartbreaking and I can't help but shed so many tears for her and what she had to endure. Her voice, her dimples and the way she just moved as a little girl made me want to squeeze her so tight and take her away from that hell myself...
My heart is breaking and Im in tears. How any one could treat a child like this derserves to be put in that closet just the way it is w no food no water lock the door n walk away n let them suffer n die for this. Im so happy SHE is found and look how happy.she was when she was found they said huge smile..Very BEAUTIFUL little girl she will definitely be with awesome loving family who will spoil her n love her..I would love to adopt her..It's a miracle ending. She will never have to live like that again...
For that precious baby to just smile really breaks my heart. Shows that kids are really the kindest hearted ever. They don't see bad.
I’m seeing a lot of comments here about how good and strong she is for smiling after all this abuse. I’d like to point out that while she is INCREDIBLY strong, smiling is not always a sign of happiness or being “okay”. It’s a way to cope with everything that has happened. Prayers to this brave little girl. I hope she finds healing. - a girl who was abused
poor baby....
Yeah and poor 14 year old girl she sexually assaulted.
No that's too young in most cases. Just because an individual is sexual mature doesn't mean they're ready to be having sex. That would lead to tons of children being coerced. The age of consent should be about 16 or 17 and in certain cases they could use some sort of competency/maturity test.
This is heart wrenching to hear. She is a special young lady, a survivor.
I hope she was given support and adopted out to a loving family.
she was! she is grown now. there are videos of her all over UA-cam now. her name is Lauren, i forgot how to spell her last name (i think Kavanaugh?)

Treated like a dog. No way, this is not the way to treat a dog or any living being. I wouldn't even keep a living plant in a closet.
I keep thinking to myself how anyone could stand being in a filthy closet with no food for 8 years straight & come out sane but then I remember that’s literally what she was born into, it’s ALL she knew. She never knew a life outside of it & had no hope of a better life at only 8 years old, and then she was saved. She’s a strong woman.
Awww. Her little southern accent. What an incredible story of survival. I pray that she made a full recovery. Physically and emotionally.
Bless that poor girl's heart. All that horror and it didn't take your smile away. I pray an unceasing shower of blessings on your life. Youre a fighter and a survivor.
I honestly cannot believe this! How the he'll can anyone hurt a child it so disturbing,what an absolute shame!
I can’t imagine even putting a little in a closet for a time-out. Like just that to me is disgusting. Then to even think about what this little girl went through... I can’t even fathom it tbh.
I feel the same. She should of been taken care of and loved, not forced to live in that closet in her own waste.... 😢

I think it's true, based off of the comments.

Lauren, the victim in this case, was arrested in 2018 and indicted in February 2019 on the three counts of sexual assault of a child and could face up to 20 years in prison on each charge if she is convicted. She’s been deemed incompetent to stand trial but they haven’t yet transferred her a psychiatric facility. imagine if this poor girl hadn’t suffered this abuse, maybe she wouldn’t have produced victims of her own
That’s so sad and disappointing to hear. I wish the system didn’t fail her. They should have provided rehabilitation that most individuals that suffer abuse need post-trauma. It’s a terrible but eye-opening update, thanks for that.
Ohhh that's so sad. We can't help but imagine an abused child will grow up to beat the trauma and become a beautiful person inside and out. Thanks for the update
@@catsom9618 It's nobody's fault, because it's not that simple. Even frequent, good, RESIDENTIAL treatment cannot undo years of neglect. We aim to improve the outcome, but there is only so much that people can do when the brain is so limited in development.
Link?
Its truly sad but that is all she knew for the beginning of her life and its sad that she did what was done to her
She’s been arrested for child sexual abuse herself now. It’s so sad.
Omfg seriously?
Whats her name? I want to read the article. This is sad
LLastRose Her name is Lauren Kavanaugh. 😔
that is a common pattern actually. those who have been abused growing up will likely develop the same pattern of abuse and it will continue to repeat unless they control themselves. in this case its no wonder but its really tragic that both her and the teenager had to go through something like that
Wasn’t she & her girlfriend on the Dr Phil show?? It was the saddest story ever... even her story after getting rescued is still sad (she gets raped again by her foster/adoptive/kinship(?) family’s friends)
The story behind the tub of butter is more sad then you would think... according to laurens oldest sister on the Doctor Phil show, she snuck the tub of butter into the closet so her sister could eat..
I fucking hate this. Sorry, this is just so sad and rage-inducing. Like, imagine. It's not bad enough that they torture one child, they scare the other children who fear for her well-being so bad that they would risk something like that... And were legitimately fucking terrified for her sister's hunger. 😡😡😡
Jesus!! Thank God she was discovered!! All My Prayers For This Beautiful Baby Girl!!! 🎀
Oh my god poor little baby girl I want to give her the biggest hug you’re such a special little baby keep smiling xxxx
And now she's in jail for assaulting children... what a heartbreaking cycle. I wish mental health treatment wasnt so difficult to get.
I feel so bad for Lauren. I will keep looking out for you.
I am lost for words!!!!Please God help this little Girl.heal,recover and find her way.
I pray she has the most beautiful life of freedom and happiness and peace......bless her
Imagine how happy she would be now... maybe enjoying with her friends and eating healthy food.. God bless you!!
I truly hope that's true.
Who else is here after hearing she has been charged for s*xually assaulting a minor? It’s so heartbreaking. This is a common cycle, victims becoming perpetrators. Breaks my soul into two.
That's very sad to hear....
Of course it cannever excuse the actions she took, it's so heartbreaking that her suffering/trauma she experienced is likely what lead her to where she is now.
Wow this is crazy. Poor girl this is truly heart breaking .
Thats horrible. Im glad she survived but wow. She was 8 and 25 pounds. I cant believe she didnt die. When I was 8 I was probably about 80 to 90 pound. Thats seriously insane.
She still has a precious smile ❤
No no no why had she have to live in this way for eight years!!! im a mum of two year old girl and I can’t even stay calm without bursting into tears by this popped out clip all of a sudden.
I live in Japan and most modern house are small and locate close to each other so once kids crying and screaming you’ll notice and if you keep hearing it more than a hour, you call the police or rescue for children
I still remember watching this on the news when she was found…….. I held onto my two boys tightly crying. When they asked why, I could barely find the words to explain the cruelty of others and what that little girl must have gone through. My oldest ask me if we could go get her and show her what love and family really is. I honestly wished I could have.
Your son is an angel! They will both grow up to be wonderful people! Hold onto them tightly! Much love to you and your family!
As a child who was tortured my entire childhood, i know what she feels
I wish we could have a requirement for everyone to be evacuated every month to be sure children are not being abused
How can someone be the cruel my heart breaks 💔 no one helped her even the abusers friends abused her and thought it was funny. I hope this traumatic situation doesn’t break her when she grows older, I hope she is able to make something out of her life 💛
I wish I could hug her, she's such a beautiful soul.
stories like this just make me hold and love my 2 daughters more. how cud anyone ever treat a child like that its heartbreakin
I just saw the moms apology video
She is not sorry she is only sorry now because she's in jail
It is disgusting I cannot even explain how disgusted I am
This makes me cry it's so sad😭😭
unfortunately many people who were abused as children will abuse others later on if they don't get proper help. She did, but I assume she was so badly abused that they couldn't help her. It's really sad. I hope she changes as a person once she's out of the mental institution and can move on to live a somewhat normal life
What an amazing child to still be able to smile , I’m a 35 year old bloke and sadly witnessed some horrificthings and I still had a tear in my eye watching this
All that pain, torment, and agony that child went through :( yet she smiled...her innocence stolen yet she smiled...God bless her always and give her strength to overcome this horrible past 🙏
They should stick the mom into the closet for a good decade or two.
Arantxa ._. Actually just put her in the closet Nd neva come back 😂
Yep
third worst, shit! what were the other two?
alicia gaytan mademe lol bc i thought h,mmmmm maybe manisnt such a wussy breed hail murder
***** What you said made no logical sense.
I believe one of them is the case of Genie Wiley. She was strapped to a potty chair, in a dark room with hardly any food, water or stimulation to learn how to walk, talk, and things like that. She was in total isolation for most of her childhood.
Genie Wiley
I feel so bad for having depression now
I was abused but not this bad
Don't feel bad about something that is out of your control.
Maybe it wasn't that bad but for YOU in your case it was bad enough.
Hang in there strong lad, have a nice day
same
+Lionaire but it's fine, it did look like I was crying for attention, but I was just saying I was abused sexually.
+Lionaire shut the fuck up, I don't need this today
That one girl who likes Rush Dude he is a troll, fuck him. Block him away and let him troll somewhere else. I'm sorry there had to be assholes. If you want to talk I'm here *hug*
course she smiled shes safe now! so happy shes safe.... beautiful little girl... glad she was rescued omg the closet!!!!! animals get taken care of better! so happy she is safe from this abuse!
I’m just wondering how the hell she survived it? She was so tiny it shows her strength and determination. Keep strong and never give up. Love and support from us all.
i hope they get locked up for a long time...this is disgusting what that beautiful little girl had to endure. ..
Emily Mc no, death penalty!
She abused a girl a while ago, it's sad to see what it all did to her mind, she didn't deserve it
i hope she has love safety and support for the rest of her life
she's clearly so strong BUT SHE SHOULDNT HAVE TO BE
These police officers and CPS people are amazing and thank god for them
She was speaking so well and seemed to be so normal aftervall she went through - what a tough girl
it's so sad to know that, that same very girl is charged of 3 sexual assaults of a child in 2019 :( it shows that bad things can really occur in a cycle because she most certainly carried that from her past childhood trauma and wanted other children to experience the same suffering she went through. it's so disappointing and sad but not surprising due to the fact that trauma can either impact you to improve or just worsen you :/, but it should never be an excuse towards ur behaviour
@Krioque THANK YOU. EXACTLY MY POINT!!
@Krioque Using the concept of "common sense" here is inherently flawed considering nothing about how she was raised was common or sensical in any way. Do we say seismic activity is the excuse a volcano has for erupting? No we say it was the cause.
Children who have been abused need to know what it feels like to be the perpetrator. With therapy they can, typically with good play therapy. Abusers are made when people don't get the help that they need.
@Krioque how? All i see in ur comment is ableist language being used to dehumanize or belittle someone who wasn't raised in the same common world that you were. Common sense is literally just people saying "well if you were nOrMaL like the rest of us then you wouldn't be sUcH a mOnStEr. But you don't have "common sense" / You wouldn't do these things if you weren't stupid". The entire concept of "common sense" is a neurotypical and socially normative concept that is damaging and reductive to anyone who is "different" or grew up "differently", and its especially damaging in cases where mental health alters behaviour and social perception such as this one. "Common sense" isn't actually a thing, speaking as someone studying to get a doctorate to become a sexologist, its just a way that people console themselves by telling themselves that MOST people agree with what THEY think. Anytime someone says "its just common sense", they are almost always concluding an argument and just either ran out of supporting arguments or don't know how to communicate supporting evidence for their argument. Its just a way of feeling like your comprehension of something is widely shared and therefor if someone disagrees or does contrary to what you labeled "common sense" you can just discredit them cuz you already decided your opinion is just a fundamental natural fact that people can just "sense" is the truth.
Realistically, when people are abused, if people actually cared about facts, a "universal common sense" would dictate that VERY VERY VERY commonly (much more commonly than not) abused children/people grow up and perpetuate the cycle of abuse. Even then, not everyone does, but this is why "common sense" is an arbitrary false dichotomy even when applied with full comprehension of the objective facts related to a specific situation. But to say common sense would dictate that abused people wouldn't want to abuse others is so far removed from reality that idk how to even make a metaphor for it at this point. Really, it isn't about wether they want to or not. People who WANT to abuse others are called s.adists. People who were abused and perpetuate the cycle are usually not "wanting" to hurt others, they just don't know how to control their feelings so that they don't. In this case, the minor was 14, and not saying this makes it okay but the girl probably has a very stunted mental and emotional development and likely felt that she related more to the 14 yr old than ppl her own age. To her, "common sense" was finding people she could relate to and when she found someone, she probably didn't recognize her own lifestyle as an adult would be potentially harmful for a minor to be expected to participate in. I doubt she wanted to cause pain and the minor doesn't seem to be traumatized by it which is good. But again, that doesn't make it healthy, and it just goes to show how dubious the concept of "common sense" is, especially when applied to trauma.
@@nellieshoals 100% THIS
unreal poor girl
what blows my mind the most is how the poor girl is grown now and has charges for sexually assaulting minors.
Yea, I think her parents tried to stop this and failed
This kind of thing happens with children of sexual abuse.... they reenact their abuse onto others when they don't get the right help. Its never okay. But sexual offending is far more likely in cases of childhood sexual abuse
Im so sorry for this baby im so sorry. My heart is breaking to pieces. How can anyone do this? Tears are rolling down. I wish i could hug her and protect her for the rest of her life
That beautiful baby. God bless her.
Stop with calling such things animalistic. Its human nature, no animal does this to their young!
xs_ fox can’t stand when people do this. They say it like it’s what dogs should be treated like too. No animal should be treated in any situation near her condition. They treated her “like a dog”. Honestly no human or animal should be treated in this way. To say it like it’s okay to treat a dog like hat away is horrifying. I agree 100 percent with you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
xs_ fox animals can be pretty savage tbf
Ummm.... Clearly you don't know how many animals are spawn killers.
It's very animalistic in the sense of base instinct. Without emotion or care.
Plenty of animals kill their young for no observable, obvious reason. It happens all day, every day. All species.
We aren't separate from animals. We are animals.
Don’t call it, ”human nature” either.
Hearing that little voice smh brings tears to my eyes just why
the girl rescued from the closet was arrested a few years ago for molesting minors. sad
source?
@@hellbound1164 if you look up her name it's literally one of the first things you see.
Omg poor babygirl thank god she was found and saved
I pray this child found a loving family. God bless her innocent life.
