Fake

not you the story

It's fake??? How do you know that??

Because stories like these crop up once in a while - usually followed within a few weeks by an appeal for donations to help support whatever treatement is required to sustain the "patient"'s life, or to send them on a holiday of a lifetime.

Reeaalllyyyy....

I was really scared stuff like that actually happened

No actually this one is real, it was covered by our national news and stuff. If it is a fake story then there's a lot of coverage on it as it's been all over cnn and stuff.

.Nancy .Grace aired this story just the other day!

I'll await the begging part of the story - "please help us keep this human being as a child - send us a donation of $10"

if by some slim slim chance it is real then they should have all their appendages removed too and the child should be given to someone who will love her as a child and not a doll.

I saw this story on .U.K news too - I don't think it's a fake unless a .L.O.T of professional news sources have been duped. Very sad though. I would rather be dead than have a life like that little girl

That's horrible. Her parents are @$$holes.

I don't agree with what they did because its very extreme and painful for their daughter.......... But I can see where they are coming from.

I have seen many cases where the disabled adult is left in their bed all the time, they are bathed and fed in their bed because moving them is a burden. I think that in the case of if they both died, they wanted to be sure that their daughter would be "easy" to take care of so that she would not be neglected. (i am saying "if they both died" because they stated that they were not doing it for it to be easy for them and that if she was 300lbs they would still find a way, so it has to be in the instance where someone else has to take care of her)

the thing that they don't realise is, regardless of how lite and uncomplicated ( no menstrual flow, no worries about breast cancer or appendicitis) they make their daughter the fact remains if the caretaker views her as a burden then she will be neglected. So basically they are putting their daughter through all of this pain for nothing.

I don't think this girl's parents should have to put up with with other people's opinions...Other people obviously can't see it from their full on perspective where they have to deal with the situation every day. They probably did what they thought was best under the circumstances.

no-one forced them to have a child. No-one forced them to keep the child.
Disability is one of the risks you take when you have a child.
If you aren't prepared to accept that keep your legs shut.
There is always the choice of adoption if you don't want to deal with the consequences.

Selfish self centered @ssholes like that should have all their bits removed too and left to fend for themselves.

Damn they are lucky enough to be able to have a child ffs.
They should be grateful for what they got, because they sure don't deserve what they have.

exactly! That is what I think too.

yea but that lady last year that had the multiples was covered by national news too, and she wound up being a faker.
