•On November 4, 1970, a
girl was discovered who
had been locked in a
room alone for over ten
years. She was tied to a
kids’ potty chair and
left to sit alone day after
day.
•At night, she was tied
into a sleeping bag with
her arms restrained.
Sometimes, she was put
into an over-sized crib
with a cover made of
metal screening.
