So, I'm not going to go into detail but I read an article in my journalism class about a girl who was called a "feral child." Basically, her mother left her in a basement alone for 7 years with no human interaction, sunlight, nurturing, schooling or anything and as a result she can't interact with people and has a hard time handling day-to-day activities like tying her shoes, eating, walking, etc. This article made me want to vomit, and the worst part is that this woman had 2 kids!! Besides this girl! Like, I'm sorry, could you just not handle the 3rd kid that you chose to have? Maybe don't have kids then. I don't want to discuss this in detail because I might cry, like I almost did in class reading this article. But this is yet another reason why 1- reading the news ruins my day, and 2- there are some sick and pathetic excuses for human beings in this world. I hope the girl's mother rots in prison for the rest of her life. Just thought I'd share that. If you have time to read the entire article, which is really long but very well-written, visit this link: http://www.tampabay.com/features/humaninterest/article750838.ece
Don't worry, it kind of has a happy ending, thankfully a nice couple adopted her and attempted to give her the love and nurturing she should've received in the first 7 years of her life.
