When police and medics found Natalie Jasmine Finn in late October, the 16-year-old Iowa teen was wearing an adult diaper, lying on a linoleum floor in her own waste “for some time,” according to court documents unsealed this week.
Finn shared the empty room, without furniture or beds, with two of her siblings and scores of dogs and cats that had the run of the home, West Des Moines police Detective Chris Morgan wrote in an affidavit. It smelled of human and animal waste, with blankets “heavily soaked” in what authorities believed to be urine, according to Morgan.
Truly horrible! So sad for the girl and others involved
How do people get approved for adoption? How could the couple get approved for the youngest child (4 yrs old at the time of the kids' discovery) after years of severely neglecting the older two? There had been a history of chronic absences from school, it said.
Am I the only one that thinks these two deserve the death penalty? And I don't mean getting a last meal and injected, how about drawn and quartered??
There must be mental illness present on the part of the parents for this to have occurred. They even nailed the bedroom window shut from the outside, so the kids couldn't get out for food or help. One way or another, both parents (now divorced) should be institutionalized; whether in prison or in a mental hospital, if they still have ones for long-term patients.

Isn't "mental illness" just a convenient excuse to downplay how inherently bad/evil people can be? "Oh, Hitler hated Jews, but he was just mentally ill" "Oh, Stalin loved having anyone he didn't like killed, he was just mentally ill" "Oh, Pol Pot had anyone he didn't like fit his vision massacred, he was just mental ill" etc. etc.?
