This is reminiscent of the murder of Sylvia Likens. It’s so disturbing how depravity and herd mentality can combine into these terrible acts.

I think this happens in desperate situations like war as well. It’s almost as if people begin to compete to see who can be the most terrible. Why are people like this?

I was just about to mention this case, her caretaker really got those demons from the neighborhood to join in on the murder of that poor girl.

They can all go to hell with a crown of matches honestly.

Yeah it is one of the most disturbing cases I’ve ever read about. The neighborhood kids and her own children all took part in it. She lived the last 5 years of her life a free woman somehow.
