A tip-off received by the police in Sorocaba, Brazil, revealed an inhumane reality. During a search of a house, a 6-year-old girl who had been living completely isolated from the outside world for years was rescued.
ISOLATION BEGAN AFTER HER BIRTH
According to officials, the little girl was cut off from society by her family just months after her birth. The father prohibited the child from communicating with other family members and completely prevented her from participating in social life.
NEITHER WENT TO SCHOOL NOR LEARNED TO SPEAK
It was determined that the child had not received any education, had not undergone any health checks, and had never been vaccinated. It was learned that the girl was only fed with liquid foods, which were administered through a syringe. Experts stated that the child had not developed her speaking ability and could only make some sounds.
"SHE ACTED AS IF SHE WAS SEEING THE WORLD FOR THE FIRST TIME"
Child protection expert Lígia Guerra, who made a statement after the incident, said that the girl experienced serious shock when she was taken out of the room, behaving as if she was encountering the outside world for the first time. It was also reported that due to neglect, the child's hair had become completely tangled and had to be cut.
PLACED UNDER STATE PROTECTION
Police teams detained the 54-year-old father and the 45-year-old mother. During the investigation of the house, three mobile phones were also seized. The little girl was placed under state protection and relocated to a shelter. She is currently undergoing both psychological and physical treatment.
PARENTS ARRESTED
The parents, who are responsible for the incident that caused a great uproar across Brazil, were charged with serious offenses such as 'restricting freedom' and 'child neglect.' The court also decided to arrest the couple.
