I was actually telling my friend about this very story yesterday. It was so bizzare and I actually don't blame the daughter. Lord knows what kind of damage that does to your mind after so many years

My feelings about this case will get me cursed out, so I'm just going to say *Chris Rock voice* "It's not right, but I understand," and leave.

why would you get that kind of reaction?

"My LJ note for you says, 'empathizes with a damaged person' so your opinion is not valid."

I finally read that buzzfeed piece on it a couple of weeks ago, it was absolutely worth the effort. I knew a few of the details before hand, just the broad strokes but the full story is horrifying.

hopefully this makes its way over here.
