Teen Who Allegedly Killed Brother Had Endured Graphic Abuse
<snip>
Police have not released a motive for the shooting.
The girls' mother told police that they often locked the 15-year-old girl up when she misbehaved. The longest they kept her locked in her room was 20 consecutive days, the father told police.
In the girl's room, police found only a blanket and a bucket filled with urine in the closet.
"It was learned that (the 15-year-old girl) has made past attempts at ending her life but neither law enforcement nor (emergency management services) was notified," police wrote in their report.
The girls are in being held in juvenile detention on suspicion of murder, and a prosecutor is trying to decide whether they will be charged as adults. Their parents face charges of child neglect and failing to supervise.

This poor girl and her sister have been tortured to the point of snapping. They need mental health care. I hope the "justice" system has some sense. NO ONE did a thing to save these kids.

(9,126 posts)I hope this poor girl is not charged. She needs help and care. Those parents should be locked up forever. Obviously they are very sick people. So horrifying.

(24,653 posts)given the closing sentences I wouldn't be terribly shocked to learn the 3 year old sister is actually the 15 year old's daughter. This is tragic in so many ways.
The parents are reprehensible human beings.

Charges of neglect seem like nothing compared to what was done to her.
