12 year old boy locked in pitch black bathroom for up to 2 years found weighing 30lbs - Polidicks

This kind of crime deserves death. There is nothing you can do to receive retribution for these kinds of actions. Child and animal abuse should be met with swift and permanent justice.

[QUOTE=Fourier;51654269]Those other two kids are fucking retarded and probably sociopaths too.[/QUOTE] That post went 0-60 way too quick damn.

Wow, I thought this shit only happened in novellas and stories of monsters. This mom clearly needs to spend some time in the loony bin if the clockwork in her head says it's ok to abuse a child to borderline dead but leave the other two perfectly fine.

[QUOTE=Mr.Brown;51654671]it says the boy got pulled out from school 3 years ago, that means he was 9 doesn't the US have compulsory education[/QUOTE] Constitutional rights. We have compulsory education, but there have been several supreme court rulings that give parent's tremendous leeway in the raising and caring for their child. Typically that's a good thing. Children with special needs can be easily pulled from school and home schooled, which frees up their schedule for things like speech or physical therapy. You can also just hire private teachers. Situations like this are the bad side. Typically there should be routine checks to verify the welfare of the child. It's possible that the child's mother was falsifying paperwork so that the kid appeared to be doing adequately in school. It's also possible that they simply didn't get around to verifying anything. Social services are clinically underfunded.

Why do people do this shit? Keep your fucking legs closed if you're going to treat your child this way.

[QUOTE=Richardroth;51656101]I think people just need to stop fucking like rabbits.[/QUOTE] She has 3 kids, that's not a lot. If you wanna talk about rabbit fucking, go to Africa or something.

[QUOTE=rndgenerator;51656108]She has 3 kids, that's not a lot. If you wanna talk about rabbit fucking, go to Africa or something.[/QUOTE] This kind of thing is happening more and more often. It must be extremely difficult for these assholes to put these poor kids up for adoption, or maybe they get off on abusing them cause it makes them "empowered" or some sick bullshit.

[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;51653024]The last two lines of the quoted section are what I find truly baffling. The other two kids not only haven't said anything about their brother being locked up and abused, but they're also perfectly healthy and seemingly not abused at all? I think this is the first time I've ever heard of such extreme division of abuse. Generally all the kids are abused to some degree, if any are abused at all.[/QUOTE] I remember an article here a few years ago where they found this girl with environmental autism, in a very similar situation - this case would likely be the same (if it isn't already) if the poor kid was locked up at a much earlier age. I remember them saying she was so damaged she doesn't even respond to touch - even apes/animals react to being hugged.

[QUOTE] Crouse said a video camera was set up so the mother could monitor the boy on her cellphone, and a baby monitor was set up so she could give him instructions but he could not reply. The lights were duct taped in the off position, so the boy likely sat in the dark the entire time, Crouse said. He was so weak when he was found that he wouldn't have been able to stand up and take the duct tape off on his own, he said. "The victim's mother stated her son wanted to sleep in this bathroom. She stated she would occasionally lock her son in the bathroom for his safety when she would leave the house. She also stated she was attempting to feed her son protein drinks to get his weight up," the report states.[/QUOTE] I want to know why the abuse was uneven so badly, and what her justifications/inner reasoning to herself was. How does a mind consider this bearable to be responsible for? Is it like when we skip doing the dishes and justify it to ourselves by saying we've "had a hard day" but on a much bigger scale? I wish I could get in her head and read the sticky notes.

The really perverse thing is that with narcissists they simply assume everyone, everywhere, shares the same emotions and worldview as they do. In her mind, everyone secretly knows she did nothing wrong, even the boy she starved nearly to death. In a way it's more fucked up than sociopathy where you are aware that what you're doing is wrong but simply don't give a shit because you're neurologically incapable of feeling empathy for others. She deserves to be locked up, but if anyone thinks she's going to think about what she's done or have a hard time living with herself once that happens, think again. The most that'll go through her head is wondering why this happened to her and what she could've done not to get caught. And that's fucking scary.

While human experimentation, especially without direct consent is a bit of a taboo subject if all you were going to do is lock these people away forever you might as well try to squeeze something good out of it.

This case kind of reminds me of Genie. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)[/URL] This girl was locked in a dark room until she was 13. The only forms of communication she received was beatings and was not allowed any social interaction. This caused her to lack almost all language and made her mostly feral. Why would parents do this shit what the hell? It just makes me sick.

I live in toquerville, where this headline comes from. Kinda sucks this is the attention our little town gets internationally, but that's rural Utah I guess, haha. It's a horrifying story and everyone here is pretty shocked by it, though their house is one of the isolated ones around here.

Everything I can find suggests your skeleton is like anywhere from like 20-30% of your mass, and at age 12 the average boy/girl is around 90 lbs. That means anywhere from 15-30 pounds of a normal child is skeleton, and assuming this kid didn't somehow lose a ton of bone mass that means atleast half to almost all of his weight is skeleton.

This occurs rather often in less extreme ways, especially if the child is prone to acting out or rebelling, or the parents are authoritarian.

poor kid must have wondered wtf he did to deserve this shit. I hope he recovers.

Reminds me of that book, A Child Called It

Is there an update on the kid, the mother, and the case?

[QUOTE=Nautsabes;51728583]Is there an update on the kid, the mother, and the case?[/QUOTE] yep [quote]Ed Flint, Jaynes’ attorney, said he is currently waiting to receive and review evidence gathered by investigators, so he has yet to form an an opinion based on evidence. However, he met with Jaynes at the Washington County Purgatory Correctional Facility Sunday and has formed a primarily, speculative opinion from what he was told. From what he heard, Flint said, he rejects the narrative that has spun out of media reports painting the woman as an abusive mother willfully starving her child. Rather, he said, this may be a case of someone who became overwhelmed with caring for a child who might be autistic. “Everything she described was describing a child with an autism spectrum disorder, right down to the gastrointestinal problems,” Flint said. “The things she was describing are all things I recognize from having my own adult child with autism spectrum disorder,” he said. A reason the boy was placed in the bathroom was evidently due to continual bouts of vomiting and diarrhea, Flint said. The boy has been unable to keep down food and likely lost a lot of body weight over time because of it, he said.[/quote] [url]https://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2017/01/19/mgk-defense-30-pound-12-year-old-locked-in-bathroom-might-be-autistic/[/url]

Unable to deal with her autistic child, the mother went full retard. Huh. [editline]26th January 2017[/editline] The narcissistic theory seems likely. I mean, she placed him in the bathroom to help him. She wouldn't have needed to do it in the first place if her son wasn't autistic.
