Lauren looked like a Holocaust child.

I'm not a real fan of Dr.Phil, but I respect his commitment to helping other people. This afternoon I saw an episode that shocked me to the core.
I like to share it with you, but again, this is shocking. For unknown reasons I can´t find the full video, just divided snips...and though I tried, it is too much work to put the programm together here.

The Girl in the Closet.







The Girl in the Closet


It was a crime that shocked the world: 8-year-old Lauren was locked in a pitch-black closet, naked, starved, infested with lice, surrounded by human waste, and held captive by her mother and step-father, Barbara and Kenneth Atkinson, for six years. When she was found, Lauren was naked and emaciated, weighing a mere 25 pounds and standing only 3-feet tall — the size of a 3-year-old. In a daytime television exclusive, Lauren, now 18, bravely speaks out about the unimaginable horrors she suffered at the hands of her parents.

Warning: This episode contains disturbing and sexually explicit content. Viewer discretion advised.

Lauren, now 18 years

“When they were done with me, they would beat me and throw me in the closet. It was like torture.”

In Her Own Words
She survived the unthinkable. Now 18, Lauren bravely speaks out. She says her parents sexually and physically abused her daily. What would she say to her parents, who are now serving life sentences, if given the chance to confront them?
