This is so disturbing!  The body of a 9-year old quadrapalegic girl was found in a storage unit about 15 minutes from where I live.  She had not been to school since January.  DHS had made a couple of stops to the house, but her adoptive mother made excuses about where she was.  Supposedly, 7 other children live in the home as well.

What a terrible thing.

I wonder how the girl died. I think she was murdered. If there wasn't an agency checking up on the children, it could have been done so she could keep the money she gets each month for the girl...and the girl could have died of natural causes.

What a horrible end for this young girl, wrapped in a garbage bag and covered with moth balls to hide the smell.

Good thing they took the other 7 kids out. This is so disturbing and the girl was a blood relative. My heart goes out to that poor child. What a tragedy...

Why didn't they call someone when she died? Did someone kill her? Oh I hope not.
