So she's their 13 year old daughter, then?

cowgirl toffee		2010-02-01 10:09:51 PM

They were just taking a hard stance on childhood obesity.

She was allegedly only let out so she could go to school, eat, or use the bathroom during the day.

Parents are p*ssys. She got plenty of daylight

smooshie		2010-02-01 10:15:18 PM

Disgusting. How the hell did the school not notice anything wrong? And kudos to the one brother who was brave enough to speak up.

The "dad" (Alfredo Ines):

According to the report, the girl was not allowed to play with her brothers or watch television. She would do her homework using light coming from underneath the crack of her door.

Sounds like the "parents" had psych issues, maybe hated the idea of giving birth to a girl, so they tortured her by letting the three boys do everything while she couldn't.

smooshie		2010-02-01 10:17:37 PM

At least the "mom" had enough to eat.

/With a name like Leticia, you know she's crazy

smooshie		2010-02-01 10:20:57 PM

Actually, doesn't "Leticia and Alfredo Ines" sound like a Mexican salad or something?

kona		2010-02-01 10:21:52 PM

but did she still steal food from the fridge?

Goddamitsomuch. You did the obvious already.

itazurakko		2010-02-01 11:27:24 PM

Creepiest part is the girl went to school, had contact with plenty of people, and yet said nothing.

It's quite the mental twisting that goes on in these situations.

i was just surprised nobody beat me to it.

log_jammin		2010-02-02 12:22:57 AM

ok....I'm just going to ask. I'm not defending, I'm just asking.

Isn't this really just a very long "time out"?

JohDHJ		2010-02-02 12:32:18 AM

I need to stop reading these types of stories before going to bed. I hate going to bed angry.

Point02GPA		2010-02-02 12:35:07 AM

Poor soul.

GWSuperfan		2010-02-02 12:36:55 AM

So, is she hot?

aurorous		2010-02-02 12:37:10 AM

Hopefully mom and dad will now learn what its like to be locked in a small room.

MONSTERTRUCK		2010-02-02 12:37:20 AM

Her cousins?

"But police say the girl needed to eat. They say she was malnourished and looked like an 8 or 9 year-old instead of 12."

I gotta agree. It's not like she was permanently confined. surely she got at least one meal a day at school, right?

/don't call me Shirley, kthanxbai

SecretAgentWoman		2010-02-02 12:39:19 AM

Obviously, Mom wanted more food for herself:

(new window)

phoxxy		2010-02-02 12:40:15 AM

Was the closet under the stairs?

Mr. Potatoass		2010-02-02 12:40:17 AM

Should have had some Mexicans install a trap door in there.

ipeeintheshower		2010-02-02 12:40:46 AM

Come on. These parental abuse stories are just getting weak now. Hell if I remember that's comparable to what I was allowed to do at that age.

Mom?

logruszed		2010-02-02 12:44:33 AM

"Was she a great-big fat person?"

Even prisoners have electricity and a bathroom. You can call it a long time out but it's still one that enters abuse territory.

rburp		2010-02-02 12:47:10 AM

This thread has only been up for a short while and already i have felt bad for laughing several times. Keep up the good work you soulless, magnificent bastardos.

"The mother is a Wal-Mart employee. "

That says it all.

Alas Babylon		2010-02-02 12:48:58 AM

If only they had gotten their food stamps on time!

log_jammin		2010-02-02 12:49:09 AM

zephyr_words: Even prisoners have electricity and a bathroom.

no lights is kinda harsh, but she could use the bathroom at anytime.

Makes you question "time out" as a parenting strategy, doesn't it?

Well, she was.

The parents are so going to catch hell from the other inmates in jail. Karma's a biatch.

xlbrooklyn		2010-02-02 12:54:15 AM

When I get to hell, there will be no corner deep enough or dark enough to prevent me from finding these two and eternally torturing them to death over and over.

not in the last year

femme_fatale		2010-02-02 12:54:44 AM

It had to be REALLY bad if her brother was the one to say something first. She was incapable.
This is so horribly sick.
You'd think it would be punishment enough that her dad is a janitor and her mom works at Walmart.

log_jammin: zephyr_words: Even prisoners have electricity and a bathroom.

From the Article:
The bucket in the space was her bathroom at night. Police say she was forced to clean it every morning.

At least if you go to jail, you don't have to sit next to a bucket filled with your own excrement.

Kurmudgeon		2010-02-02 12:55:37 AM

"The "dad"-"At least the "mom" had enough to eat."

I figured they'd be well fed...damn it.

When her friend told her she was going to introduce her to Alfredo, her eyes opened with joy-only to have her hopes crushed.
