Luckily, America has child abuse laws, so there aren't as many obvious cases. But, there are still hidden ones.
AlaskaIn Alaska a woman physically and emotionally abused at least six of her adopted children. Including forcing them to use buckets as toilets (even though she has three bathrooms) and starving them so severely that it stunted their growth. In 2001 she moved to hillside and limited their contact with the outside world, they were confined to small rooms, with locks on all windows and all doors, to warn her if there are any escape attempts.
But her laywer argues and says that she is a kind woman who is taking in children no one else will take.. He also said that the locks on the doors are there because they go in and out constantly, many of them took off for days at a time.. He also said that the buckets were in the childrens rooms incase they didn't want to walk to the bathroom. He added that she is a vegetarian and she raised her children as vegetarians as well. |
