The family of a 10-year-old found dead in a trunk outside an Arizona home initially claimed the child died while playing hide-and-seek. But investigators now believe Ame Deal suffocated after her family locked her in the box because she took a popsicle from the freezer without permission.
Phoenix police claim Deal's grandmother, aunt and two cousins regularly subjected the child to horrific treatment, ultimately culminating in her July 12 death.
"This child died at the hands of those who were supposed to love and care for her. ... This case has turned the stomachs of some of our most seasoned detectives," said Phoenix Police spokesman Sergeant Trent Crump in a statement posted on the city's website.
Deal's passing was classified as a "death unknown" until July 28, according to the police press release.
But after Deal's cousin Samantha Allen, 23, and her husband, John Allen, 23, admitted putting the child in the trunk and padlocking it, authorities charged the couple with first degree murder.
John Allen was allegedly angry with Deal because she had taken a popsicle from the freezer, AZFamily reports.
The victim's aunt, Cynthia Stoltzmann, 44, and grandmother, Judith Deal, 62, were charged with child abuse and kidnapping after reportedly admitting to locking the child in the box on previous occasions.
[b]Witnesses told investigators the child was regularly punished by being locked in the trunk. They also saw the caregivers force Deal to eat dog feces as punishment, crush cans barefoot and exercise outdoors in "extreme measures," according to ABC15.[/b]
Deal's aunt allegedly confessed to putting hot sauce in the child's mouth, striking her with a paddle dubbed "Butt Buster" and ordering the child to sleep on the floor of a stall shower because she had a problem with wetting the bed, the news station reports.
[b]Deal, who weighed just 59 pounds and was discovered in soiled clothing, died in a box that measured less than 3 feet long, 14 inches wide and one foot tall, according to The New York Daily News.[/b]
Twelve children who lived at the residence have been taken into custody by Child Protective Services, ABC15 reports.
The whereabouts of the child's mother are unknown and authorities are currently trying to locate Deal's biological father.[/quote]

Read.
Can someone remind me of the reasons death penalty was removed already? Fuck sake it's like everything gets more fucked up each days.

"Honey, how about we name her Debbie?"
"Ok, Deal"
There's probably a lot better jokes that could be made but I'm not that funny of a guy
"[i]Forced to eat dog feces[/i]" made me cringe
Man this is just sad. Let us have a pun less silence out of respect.

this is in America, there's a whole big world outside of France you know.
if anything this proves the death penalty does not deter whackjobs.
Also what the fuck is going through their heads when a child does something wrong? People should have a psych-check before they can be parents

I hate to know what they named the trunk.
It isn't really appropriate to be making news puns with something horrible like this. The parents are deranged and need to be put away, kept away from children.

And if they fail, they should be castrated so they can't have children to abuse. It's not like it would be hard.
"Ma'am, how would you punish your child?"
"Well, nothing major, just maybe lock them in a trunk for a few days, make them sleep in shower."
Answering something along those lines would prompt a team of surgeons to come in and castrate them.

The Chokey.
Well that ruined my night..
Why didn't the witnesses report this earlier?! Why say stuff like this AFTER the little girl dies?!
This really annoys me, people just think 'oh someone else will report to child services' - when they should be thinking 'where the fucks my phone?!'
If I saw a little girl be forced to eat dog shit, I would drive my fucking car through the front door I swear to god.
This is just wrong..
Saw this on the news earlier today, good god I just wanted to kill these fucking people over this, such sick motherfuckers in this damn world.
That is pretty fucked up.

Well these "witnesses" that know all this shit but didn't report it? What the fuck, a life could have been saved if someone reported this.

Eating dog feces? That's pretty abusive.
Crushing cans barefoot? Hmm, well, I did that as a child, but maybe they cut her.
Exercising outside? What the fuck? When is exercising outside considered a form of child abuse?

I cringe when I think about those two words...
[I]"extreme measures."[/I]
If a trunk wasn't extreme...what is that is called "exercise?"
12 kids?
They sound like welfare harvesters.
[QUOTE=Killer900;31424569]In extreme measures, god knows what they made her did.[/QUOTE]
But what does that mean? Do they mean extreme conditions? Or are they referring to all of it as 'extreme measures' of punishment.
fucking journalists learn english you dickheads
Whenever someone makes a joke about a news story about an animal being tortured they justify it with, "PEOPLE MAKE JOKES WHENEVER IT'S A THREAD ABOUT SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENING TO A PERSON BUT WHEN IT'S AN ANIMAL THEY FORM A LYNCH MOB," and I'd actually try to argue that no one on FP makes jokes about people being tortured or murdered. I don't know what I was thinking.

Wow, sounds like you had a pretty severe case of optimism there bud.
Good thing it's cleared up, it can be deadly.
