Read the following: The girl in the window | Tampa Bay Times


The story starts out tragic, but ends on a happy note. Though the situation is obviously still ongoing...I'm truly hoping she makes it...this story was a bit too moving and feels me with all sorts of feels. I hope that one day I can adopt a child. I understand the mom was 2 points away from Forrest Gump level IQ, but it's honestly inconceivable to think that anyone, especially the rest of the family that knew it was going on, could let this happen. Then there's the ****ing fact that CPS didn't help til it was possibly too late...It's overwhelmingly depressing to think children can go through such situations, and yes, I know similar things go on all over the world, but to have it happen in a 1st world country is just unbelievable.
