I couldn't finish reading the article.
Good night.

This is the second article today with this type of abuse.
It reminds me of the story published the other day with the dog nursing the tiger cubs. The zoo keeper said the mother tiger never took care of any of her litters. It was like she had that gene shut off.
I think humans are the same, but I get more disgusted at them because they do have options that tigers don’t.

Pretty horrible and depressing for one day. But for the grace of G-d......

The mother should be shot allowed to recover and shot again.

Andrea Kelly, 39, the only defendant charged with murder, was ordered held Friday without bail. The social workers suspected of falsifying home visits and progress reports in the case face charges ranging from child endangerment to involuntary manslaughter. The family friends are accused of lying to the grand jury about the girl's condition before her death. First Degree Murder seems such an inadequate charge when you read the description of this child's protracted and torturous death. Yet, they will likely all be out on the street in a couple of years, if they serve any jail time at all (except the Mother who, rightfully, looks to be headed away for a few years)

"
The mother should be shot allowed to recover and shot again." No, she should be hogtied, and thrown into her daughter's uncleaned bed and not fed until she dies.

This is so terribly sad. God bless the poor child’s soul.

When I worked part time in a church nursery, there was a little girl with cerebral palsy. Later found out she was adopted because the birth mother said no way, Jose, am I dealing with that. Selfish versus the usual unselfish act of adoption, yes, but yet the girl lived, and was living with people who loved her.
The mother in this horror story should have utilized the equivalent of the Baby Moses law. Everyone would have been better off.

“The mother in this horror story should have utilized the equivalent of the Baby Moses law. Everyone would have been better off.”
That’s the first thought that crossed my mind. There are government funded homes for people like this that usually aren’t pretty, but better than what she got at her “mother’s” home. But on second thought, the “mother” may have been dependent on the Social Security check the girl brought in.

The report describes a mother, Andrea Kelly, who was embarrassed by her disabled daughter and didn't want to touch her, take her out in public, change her diapers or make sure she had enough fluids.I'm honestly surprised she lived to 14. May these people rot.

I had a little girl who had cerebral palsy, so this hit pretty close to home. My daughter passed in 1995 and every effort I had went to try and help her. I worked two jobs, we had nurses in the house around the clock, she had every kind of therapy,I battled insurance companys and maxed out two policies when she went to the hospital for the 12th time. And even through all her handicaps and all her medical issues, she brought us so much joy and spark having her here as long as we did. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I just don't get it. I know it's hard, there's nothing harder, but maybe it's just like another poster said, a missing gene that simply turns off the mother instinct. But, you'd also have to be missing a couple of other genes, too, the responsibility gene, the compassion gene, intelligence gene..... I couldn't even read the entire story myself. It was just heartbreaking.

That would be the winning answer.

Very Sad.
Social workers involved in this case need to be prosecuted every bit as severely as the mother.

There better be a Heaven, for poor things like her. :(
Several years ago there was a case of a girl here in AZ like this, locked and isolated in a cage by her "parents" for all her life.
When a neighbor finally alerted officials, she was rescued. Described as only able to make animal sounds. Never heard what happened to her.
