Are you kidding me? This is news how?
Uhm – my son was afraid of the boogey man and wouldn’t sleep for little while there when he was little… Is that a freaking headline?!
I would like to know why these parents aren’t being prosecuted for child endangerment, or worse for manslaughter, for their refusal to fufill their parental duties.
The plague of liberal excuses for parents who allow their children to control their lives instead of DISCIPLINING their children properly and teachimg them a proper respect for authority has reached epidemic proportions.
Umm – your son also didn’t die. If she was afraid of opening her mouth but still lived, maybe not a story. But the fact that her parents let their child DIE of hunger makes me believe they are no smarter than you my friend.
Good grief! And why was the girl not seeing a shrink? Some people should not be allowed to procreate because of blinding stupidity. Since when should an 8 year old be in charge?
Are you kidding me DonFanNob?!?!
Did your son die from being afraid of the boogey man!?!?
That’s why this is news you incompetent loser. The girl DIED…how is that not news? It is news, and it is sad!
I’m sorry, I hate to jump on the bandwagon to beat somebody up, but are you kidding me NOB? What a moron. You can’t really be that dumb. You must be a Fox News hater and trying to be clever. IDIOT!
As a survivor of incest from a VERY early age, I can totally identify with this poor young lady. Not a good feeling.
Incest caused me to have this same fear. When my baby teeth started falling out it scared me almost to death because I thought it was because I had to perform the oral you know what on my grandfather. It really screwed me up. I’m surprised it hasn’t killed me yet.
I can’t believe they are asking for an inquest that would quite obviously find them guilty of gross negligence. They should be imprisoned for the murder of their daughter.
Little girl died. A pity. A waste.
Her parents recognized that there was a problem and did nothing. Spay and neuter them.
Her health system fed her by tube. Remove their certifications and spay and neuter the “doctors” that came up with that winning solution.
Her dental surgeons abused her horribly. Remove their certifications and file their teeth to the bone with a bastard file and no anesthetic.
Will it bring the little girl back? No, but it will serve to educate others.
