"Brian, Shannon Gare Guilty Of Keeping Daughter In Cage For Years"

An article called, "Brian, Shannon Gare Guilty Of Keeping Daughter In Cage For Years," was posted on The Huffington Post on March 8, 2013. Brian and Shannon Gore pleaded guilty to child abuse. They were arrested because their eight year old daughter was found in a cage with an upside-down crib. The girl had been there for many years and she was starving because the parents never gave her food. The eight year old was naked and covered in feces. She ate her own flaking skin as substitute for food. She was born at home without a birth certificate and she had never visited the doctor, yet her father insisted that she had Down syndrome. They also had a one month old boy that was healthy and taken care of and a body of a third child was found buried near their home. The daughter is now under the care of another caring family and she is trying to live a normal life. One would think that if a parent has the heart to do this to one child they would do the same to the rest of their children also, but Brian and Shannon treated one of their children normally but kept their daughter in a cage without food. Instead of going to school and living a normal life this child was forced to eat her own skin and live through trauma. What could an eight year old child do to deserve such a harsh and long- lasting punishment from her own parents.
