ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A woman and her roommate were charged with starving the woman's 9-year-old daughter, who weighed just 42 pounds when she was found, was locked up all day and was forced to wear a filthy diaper, authorities said.
Melissa Samoraj, 27, and Raymond LaFountain, 31, were arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated child abuse. The girl was so emaciated that her spine and ribcage were showing when state child welfare officials took her June 30, police said.
The girl also had her hands bound behind her, was locked in a bedroom all day and wore a diaper that went unchanged for hours, officials said. She told police it was punishment for bad behavior.

LaFountain was originally described by police as Samoraj's live-in boyfriend, but the gender classification at the jail was changed from male to female following a routine strip search, Pinellas sheriff's spokesman Mac McMullen said.

MOTHER starving this DAUGHTER?
SICKENING!
I'm becoming more and more a fan of an eye for an eye. I wonder how this inhuman, and inhumane, couple would like to be in her place. makes... blood... boil.....
Prayers for that little girl. What is sad is that neither one of them will probably get much time. When in fact, they should get life doing hard labor.

Just like stars in Hollywood?
What do you want to bet that the "bad behavior" was complaining about the lesbian relationship of her mother and her partner?
This comes from the same 30% that think Bush was flying the planes on 9-11
Isn't this in the same area where Terri Schaivo was starved to death?
