I read a lot of the posts there...I gather that Children's Services had been contacted at one point...yet another person who had experience with one area's CS said they don't do anything unless someone DOES die. Sad case of understaffing with poorly qualified staff in some areas.

Maybe the poor girl no longer had reason to believe anyone would help them.

One poster on the blog...she said she was raised in far worse conditions, never killed anyone, and that this girl should be tried in adult court: "Murder is murder." That is REALLY sad...I suspect she wanted to kill, but didn't, and is lashing out here...I am TOTALLY guessing, her reply just stunned me.

The girl is in a psych ward now. Clean sheets, regular meals, nice people...a psych ward is heaven compared to where she was. I hope she heals!
