Answer 4

a little girl starved cos children were taking bread that was left out for birds by the neighbours?

link?  is this from the daily surreal?

thanks for link.  crikey, that is awful

Answer 5

This is such a sad story.  I can't believe that people can be so innately evil that they would simply allow a child to starve like this.  It seems the mother was fairing just fine, I'm sure she was eating.  What horrible people... poor child.

I just hope that the other children are placed where they can be properly taken care of.

One thing that weighs on my mind is if people were bringing bread and such to the children why on earth didn't they call the proper authorities to make certain this death didn't occur?

Answer 6

I thought this was a hoax, I am so sad, how could someone do this to their kids - I agree it is cruel starvation is a painful death

Answer 7

I think it is a very sad reflection of the times we live in.

There was a time when we had a thing called neighbourliness - where neighbours were neighbours and everyone on the street knew each other and looked out for each other, nowadays people just turn a blind eye and blame social services for not doing their job, but how can they do their job if they are not informed in the first place ? - God it makes me so angry, if that neighbour who left out bread for the birds and suspected the children were eating it - why on God's green earth didn't she do something about it.

Reading the article, it appears these poor children have been suffering for at least 4 months, they looked emaciated - surely someone noticed - or is everyone these days so caught up in themselves that they think - Oh yea someone else will do something - the whole neighbourhood should be ashamed of itself.

Sorry rant over.

Oh and the mother (termed loosely) should be hanged.

Answer 18

no i haven't, do you have a link?

although I'm not sure i want to read it, it pisses me off no end that, it seems i can't go a day without hearing about some kid that's been tortured, raped, killed or mistreated in some other way, seriously its almost a daily basis, WTF is wrong with some folk?

thanks Starligh...

Answer 19

No I hadn't heard

Answer 20

Yes I just read about it and it is impossible to think in a country where nobody should starve to death that this should happen to a poor child.  Obviously we don't know much at the moment about the background etc but the parents should be the ones to protect and provide and they have obviously let this little girl down terribly.

There is no need for any child to be that malnourished and I can only hope that she is now at peace and saved from further agony and torture.

Answer 21

the parent (s) need intra cranial lead therapy. i am so sick and tired of hearing stuff like this. its horrible.
