Parents of malnourished girl were warned she could die, but father dismissed concerns as 'crazy', court told
A 17-year-old girl was so severely malnourished doctors feared she was at risk of a heart attack, but her father claimed she was "the healthiest child he knew", the Perth District Court is told.
For reference, my kids both reached 30kg when they were seven!
That poor girl.
And those shithead parents. What were they doing it for? Tying to make a tiny ballerina?
Wouldn't surprise me, the things that people are willing to do for ballet is ridiculous, and it takes a pretty big toll on your body.
They also engaged in infantilising behaviour. fuckheeads shoulda bought a doll
I wouldn't be surprised, after reading all about the situation, if the girl was also being sexually groomed, and this was all an elaborate act to keep her looking a certain way.
Anger is all I can feel for the "parents".
The more you read the weirder it gets. It’s like they’re trying to keep her as a child and starving her I guess is part of that since it stunts growth? These people are beyond crazy, they’re “gunna be a Youtube video one day” kinda nuts.
She was a dancer. How she manged that at that weight is insane. I hope she's doing well and is able to recover in some capacity.
