She's a "feral child" that probably has the worst case of child abuse on record. If not, it's damn close.

This shit is heartbreaking, and I don't say that very often. To make matters worse, years down the line when she had finally largely gotten a sense of self, she was abandoned again and she ended up back to square one. I genuinely feel bad for her, poor thing. =/

I have read about her, though I didn't know about the second abandonment. Who dropped the ball on that one?

I didn't read that part specifically, but as far as I know the doctors ran out of money to take care of her and sent her to a foster home, where she was basically abused all over again.

I dunno if abandonment would be the right word, but yeah.
