I've posted the same topic in the Readers' Corner discussion. My friend WMW suggested that I've posted the same topic in here. This is a story about a young girl named Lauren. She had suffered incomprehensible torture and abuse in the hands of her biological mother and stepfather in her early formative years. She was locked in a closet, and thus the title of this article/story, The Girl In The Closet.
She suffered six years of torture and hell before being rescued. Remarkably, she had graduated from a College and keeping positive on her outlook.
I hope you guys able to read about this young girl's story. It only has eight chapters, and share your views.

Sima, like I said in our small chat, I will still cry when ever I read that article. So, in a sense, I can't stop crying too. :-(
I'm sending you my hugs
You will cry when your anger subside. :'(
Noas...
I couldnt imagine the physical and mental torture that Kid had undergone, that too from her own mother's hand....Still cant believe whether a Mother can do such a thing...Really shame on her.... What her stepfather has done to her is atleast not new to us, as we have come across many devils like that......But, cant imagine a Mother doing like this.....Life sentence is not enough to that Lady, she should be tortured in the same way how she did to her own daughter, and i feel Lauren should be given the right to punish that demon....
But, why particularly she had tortured her second daughter alone, when the First one was living independently there itself.... Anyway, Nothing can justify this Cruel act of any Lady, especially being a Mother...
Bala, yes, why she chose Lauren to be the brunt of those tortures were still not not understandable, though she claimed she just never felt the love for Lauren. I think Lauren's sister felt guilty for not being able to help Lauren more, though she was a child herself at that time and was so afraid of her Mom.
I think that woman didn't deserve to be called 'Mother'. A mother should be able protect and love her child unconditionally. A mother will kill to protect her child, and not the other way round.
Even in her distressed state when she was rescued, Lauren, that little girl still can smile.
Yes, this girl's capacity to smile even in her pain was truly remarkable.
Hard to believe she was 8 years old then.....Yes, i remember reading from ur link that she was weighing like a 2 year old kid...
Bala, she was nearly starved to death. Like she said, she was allowed to chew her food, but she was not allowed to swallow them. :-(
Sima, that was one of the most horrible thing that her Mom did to her. To let her taste the food, but never to actually eat them. That's just beyond horrible.
I think even an animal will never treat it's offspring this kind of horrible things. Her Mom and her stepdad were beyond animals. :-(
