Girl kept in room for two years
July 28, 2002

TWO people have been charged over the imprisonment of a teenage girl in a south-western Sydney home.

Police said today that the 17-year-old girl went to Macquarie Fields Police Station on April 17 and alleged she'd been detained in a room at a Eucalyptus Drive house for the past two years.

A 40-year-old Macquarie Fields woman and 51-year-old Tregear man would face Liverpool Local Court on August 15 charged with false imprisonment, police said.

A Sydney newspaper said the severely emaciated girl managed to escape from her mother and stepfather by slipping through a window.

Neighbours said the girl simply vanished about two years ago, and they were only told that she had gone away.

They lashed out at the NSW Department of Community Services, saying the case was repeatedly reported but no-one conducted a full investigation, the newspaper said.

The girl weighed barely 40kg when she escaped, it said. A neighbour told the paper the girl had been fed on Weet-Bix with vinegar and water mixed with salt, as well as plain bread.

I hate this country sometimes...
 
A breakfast cereal, rectangular bricks of wheat-stuff, eaten with milk. Really munchy with hot milk and sugar.
 
Unbelievable

What some people can do to their own children even. I just wonder what possible excuses they could come up with for this?

Oh, and 'Weet-bix'? Why does every English-speaking country choose to destroy the language like this? Meens kids grow up nt beeng very gud at speeling

:rolleyes:
 
Well, you can't copyright a word like "Peanuts" when describing a food. So, if you make something that is supposed to look like a peanut, you can call it peanutz and copyright it. (Obviously Charls Schultz had the rights to the word Peanuts when referring to a comic strip).

Anyway, sounds tasty. I guess it's like Shreaded Wheat from the US?
 
That was shocking, i read that in the paper too....

You know, i wonder how her social skills are now...

Anyone study that case, or i thin kthere have been a few, where a child was kept in a room, with no lihgt, no social contact and got out when he was like 20 or something.... maybe older... its amazing what people are with out all the socialised characteristics we commonly call 'natural'.... im sorry i would be more detailed about it, but i was a long time i read about that
