The Girl in the Window

This story of a 9-year old girl and her “most outrageous case of neglect” is one of the most gutwrenching things I’ve ever read or heard. I honestly cannot come up with a word to describe it.

There’s a collection of audio and video clips to go along with it, and I highly recommend them.
