A family tragedy occurred in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. At the age of 5, a girl began to be beaten by her stepfather and maliciously restricted her food intake. She relied on the nutritious lunch provided by the school to fill her stomach every day. She didn’t eat food until she was more than 6 years old when the school found out the abnormality and notified the social bureau, and she got rid of the miserable life of 2 years. At that time, the girl was skinny and weighed only 13.5 kilograms. Black-hearted stepfather denies abusing girls following being arrested, arguing that girls starve for no money. The Kaohsiung District Court found the stepfather “obviously lying” and recently sentenced the stepfather to 4 years and 2 months in prison for “obstructing the development of a young child”.
Taiwan media reported that the girl’s 28-year-old surnamed Huang Sheng mother gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock at the age of 19 and handed the girl over to the girl’s grandfather to take care of her. The grandfather raised the girl to be fat and plump until Huang Nv married a man surnamed Lin in October 2018 and took the girl away. About half a year later, my grandfather went to visit the girl and found that the girl was as thin as a skull, but Huang Nv said she did not know the reason. The grandfather began to bring food to visit the girl from time to time, and found that the girl only dared to eat the food she brought, and did not touch other food on the table.
In December 2019, Huang Nv gave birth to a daughter, and in order to concentrate on taking care of the young girl, Lin Nan was responsible for the girl’s daily life and dinner. When my grandfather visited the girl once more in April 2020, he found multiple bruises on the girl’s body. The girl bluntly said, “It was my father who beat me,” but she prevented her grandfather from going to her stepfather for a theory, saying, “If you tell him, I will be beaten once more.” Grandpa turned to question Huang Nv, but Huang Nv defended Lin Nan by saying that “he can’t beat children”, and later refused Grandpa to visit the house once more, and even moved.
The girl was beaten by her stepfather and pinched her neck
In September 2020, the school teacher exposed the tragedy of child abuse following seeing the girl rummaging through the trash cans in the classroom to find food. After examination, the girl suffered from malnutrition, hypocalcemia, mild anemia, underweight, and stunted growth due to her long-term starvation. She had obvious pinch wounds on her neck, and many scars and old and new wounds on her body. When the prosecutor made a statement to the girl, the girl did not dare to tell the source of the injury, saying that “following I slept, I forgot.” Later, she admitted that it was the stepfather who did it, and the biological mother knew regarding it. He almost lost his breath, and revealed that he hadn’t had enough food since he lived with his stepfather, “If I only take one bite, I will take away my meal, and told me to stop and not touch the spoon with the meal. I don’t know the reason, I stretched out my hand to take the food, They beat me… I’m hungry.”
Judge blasts girl’s birth mother for condoning abuse ‘a loss of motherhood’
The grandfather pointed out that his daughter and son-in-law both use the latest iPhone and own two motorcycles, and it is impossible to “have no money to support children.” The judge also believed that both Lin Nan and Huang Nv were slightly fatter than the average person, but the girl was the only member of the family who was undernourished and underweight. Lin Nan was obviously lying when he said that he had no money. As for Huang Nv, although it was confirmed that she did not participate in child abuse, she condoned Lin Nan to beat and starve girls. The judge bombarded, “As a mother, I did not fulfill my duty to protect my daughter, but condoned Lin Nan’s actions, which is a loss of motherhood.” At present, the girl is 9 years old. In July last year, her weight rose to 28.7 kg, which is close to the level of girls of the same age. My grandfather has obtained custody of the girl and brought the girl home, but the girl will still cry, “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me” in the early days.
