ffffffffff inb4 tl;dr
I won't quote, because this is a pretty long article. It's just utterly unbelievable how a child could develop to be in such a condition. I mean, negligence can only go so far. Age 7, 46lbs., can't speak, can't express herself at all, can't react, and the idea of human interaction is unfathomable to her. A feral child. Read it for yourself, because there's really no way to describe it in whole as effectively as just reading the whole damn thing.
And the mother responsible for all of this is only sentenced 2 years of house arrest and probation, and 100 hours of community service. I admit that many people on the internet tend to be apathetic about events like this, but never have I ever been this disgusted at a human being impersonally, especially when the mother had said, "I'm trying my best!" She undoubtedly must've been mentally retarded solely by the fact that she felt wronged for having her daughter taken away. (IQ of 77, go figure.)
On the bright side, though, this girl was lucky to have found a decent home, a loving family, and progressed more than anyone had hoped for. She even carries around a stuffed glow-worm to keep her company. Too bad the other kid has to sleep in the laundry room. lulz. :U

Fix'd.
Guess copy pasta didn't want to register the "ninterest" part of the link.
I got to say, that is pretty bad.
Sounds like an actual story rather than an article... but still. That's hecka messed up. The mother's an idiot. D:<
to make it quick: no one in the world, good or bad, deserves to be in the condition she was. I'm glad they took her from her mother, and i hope that little girl gets even better.

I believe that the article mentions that the mother has an IQ of 70 or something
It's terrifying what happens when people that stupid are left alone.

Yea, that was total crap. "Wow, sucks for that kid. But hey, stories sell so lets milk it for all it's worth!"
I wonder who long before there's a movie.

except for the kid who has to sleep in the laundry room. i feel bad for him. =(
