A 4-year-old Brooklyn girl who weighed only a shocking 15 pounds was found dead this morning, with her arms and legs tied to a crib with twine, The Post has learned.

Cops are now questioning the mother of the severely malnourished little girl, Marchella Pierce, at the 81st Precinct station house in Bedford-Stuyvesant, law enforcement sources said.

Sometimes words just fail me. God help us.

Continued proof there is evil in the world.

Let’s see, we got a Carlola and Marchella. No need to read further. Nomen est omen.

[TommyDale]

The parent(s) should be tied to the caboose of a train and dragged a few hundred miles.

[GoCards]

Dont question the mother, take the mother to jail. REALLY FOLKS

If you're at all familiar with the NYC area you could have stopped at "Bedford-Stuyvesant".

I’m completely in favor of retro-active abortion for cases such as this!!

We treat animals in this country better than we treat babies (both pre and post natal).

How sad. This really breaks my heart.

Who do you mean when you say "we"?

[brytlea]

This is not the norm, and I bet this woman would not treat an animal particularly well either.

Just unbelievable. But then I remember Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV): "... there is nothing new under the sun.".

People always have and will continue to commit unimaginable cruelties upon those that cannot possibly harm them.

I don't know how to stop it, and stories like this make this old guy shed a tear.

[poobear]

Poor sweet child. May the Angels hold her extra close and may G-d let her finally play like she was never able to on earth. No more tears little angel.

G-d have Mercy on us all.

[Hacklehead]

I’d like 10 minutes alone with these people, I’ll need some lighter fluid and a book of matches.

[angcat]

And god gives them children. Go figure.

“The parent(s) should be tied to the caboose of a train and dragged a few hundred miles.”

A car just going 8 or 9 miles an hour would be good too.

You get tired, trip, eventually.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Okay, now I want to kill somebody. I can’t fathom this.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
