The girl weighed 35 pounds and there is not one neck visible on any of the adults. Atrocious work smh.
I don’t understand being 500 lbs and then turning around and starving someone.
Amazing how the people who never miss a meal are the same ones depriving their children of one ...... just sick!
35 lbs at 14... my 3 year old son is 36 lbs. The poor thing must've been a skeleton. Throw them UNDER the jail.
They obviously can't use the "we don't have money for food" defense!
She weighed 35lbs. An adult skeleton weighs 20lbs. Let that sink in.
I can’t believe she was conversational in the hospital. What a fighter.
Omg. The viciousness of starving a child, and then eating yourself into the inability to even move. I can’t even process this.
This is not "neglect"... its torture
