Angry

I just read a news story on the BBC about a mother and her new husband who let the wife's daughter live in such squalor and under such abuse that she died of malnutrition. She was about 3 years old. She lived in a room with dogs faeces, bare wires coming out of the sockets, and when she died, she'd eaten or drunk nothing for 20 hours beforehand. The room was insect-infested. The mother and new husband ran the pub downstairs, and simply carried on their life as normal, while the little girl's body decayed upstairs.

How could anyone do that? How?
