14. Beat, tortured, and set on fire.
“Shanda Sharer. I think that’s her name. I’m fuzzy on the details, but as far as I can remember she was a young (12 or 13 years old) girl that was mercilessly beat, tortured, and ultimately set on fire (while still alive) one night after sneaking out of her house to hang out with some ‘friends.’ All because one of the girls that killed her thought she was trying to steal her girlfriend. It’s such a fucked up case. I think the girls who did it only recently got out of prison. (Happened in the 80s I think, maybe early 90s).”
15. Beaten, burned, starved, forced to eat feces, and forced to shove a glass bottle into herself.
“The story of Sylvia Likens comes to mind.
She was locked in the basement of a woman who was paid to take care of her. She was beaten, burned, starved, forced to eat feces (among other things), forced to shove a glass bottle into herself, she was also kept naked. She eventually died of brain hemorrhage, shock, and malnutrition after 3 months of escalating torture.
The movie based on her torture (which is dramatized to make it worse, if that’s possible) is called The Girl Next Door, made in 2007, not to be confused with the comedy made in 2004. It was a fucked up movie. I definitely lost sleep the night I watched it.”
