600-pound couple starved daughter, made her eat human waste

• Children's aid services are horribly corrupt. It's not impossible to put in a "request" for a certain child, and the target's parents will be investigated round the clock until there is any evidence to remove the child and deny custody. I don't know the facts about her parents, though.

• In a pod? oh no. General population. No protection. get it over with nice and quick, they deserve to die on the floor of a shower.

• I hope that complete and balanced coverage is given including the defense on this case. The press has fueled a rush to judgment based on statements given by a troubled teen. Did anyone ever consider that she is NOT "telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truch..." A careless word may kindle strife, / A cruel word may wreck a life, / A timely word may level stress, / A loving word may heal and bless. — Author Unknown

• I would love to have that poor abused girl over for a week, to ride our horses, go to the park and swing on the swings, go to the zoo, have some cook-outs, to to a baseball game, go fishing, play with our chickens and duckies, bike riding.  Precious little thing.  I hope someone is giving her alot of love and good times she has missed out on her whole life.  And I agree with some of the others, I don't think she should go back to her birthmom.

• They both deserve prison in a pod with other super bad dimented evil inmates who are in for life!  The lifers have nothing to lose for bad behavior, what are they gonna do, add to their sentence?Then they can get mistreated and harrassed by the them....heheh. made to eat their own shit, drink their piss and many other creative nasty things. 

• Yes, the American Dream of free-loaders. I am sick and tired of all this crap. I'm voting RON PAUL 2012!

• You might have a point there...lol

• Kevin? You're an idiot.

• Too bad "god" didnt step in a little earlier, huh?

• What the hell does fatness have to do with it?! Maybe the fact she was being STARVED and mama can't get her fat ass in a wheelchair for starters?

• The mighty Oak may work also, its the rope I'm concerned about

• Read it again

• They should be starved and made to eat their own waste. Let them see how it feels. Life in prison should make them feel good.

• It's true.  Even when you do take it to the authorities.  I think a better option is putting it on the news.  Then they can't sweep it under the proverbial rug without anyone noticing.

• Don't place bets on CPS to do the right thing when it comes to investigations like this.  Wisconsin CPS is a historically dysfunctional institution itself, knowingly putting abused children back into the very homes where they were abused, making their priority "reuniting the family" regardless of how messed up that so-called family is.  There is no accountability for the abuser or for CPS.  They will close ranks to cover their backsides, and the poor kids get caught in the fallout. 

• but a good percentage are, can't deny that

• good 'ol wisonsin and their welfare system. 

• these pigs should rottt in prison thats sick!! fukin grooss piggy people

• honestly that fat ass step mom should be put in the electric chair... if she could fit. 

• WOW. SO GLAD SHE GOT OUT. WHY SHE NOT TRY TO GET OUT WHEN THE FAMILY WAS NOT HOME. I HOPE THE TWO FATTYS. GO TO PRISON. NEAVER SEE THE DAYLIGHT EVER AGAIN. OH YES. GIVE THEM WATER ONLY. THEY WILL BURN IN HELL. FOR WHAT THEY DID.

• Never in a million years. Can I fathom how any1 can harm a child. The law needs to makes serious changes, what is this world coming to?? The lawyers are only out for their quick dollar, wouldnt know truth if they fell over it , to represent the scum ( I know is a must ) but to out right lie 4 them, is so abhorent . I pray that child wont grow up imitating what was done to her. These dregs need putting out of their missery. Ugly vermint creatures they are!

• Don't fall into that. Not all poor people are abusive depraved pieces of shit. 

• It's a defense attorney's job to defend a client, dude. That's what defense attorneys do. The Constitution mandates the accused's right to counsel, and with good cause. If the opinions of commenters on a local paper's blog were enough to send someone to jail, we'd all have a really bad time of things. Even monsters have a right to a fair trial, and I can't imagine it'll be too hard to prove whether these people really are the monsters they sound like they are.

• Reposting just to make sure the point's made: it's really hard to fight parental rights. Honestly. If a parent wants to prevent their kid from having contact with said kid's extended family, especially if it's extended family of an absent parent, it's extremely difficult for that extended family to force the custodial parent to allow contact. Short of obtaining a court order or kidnapping the child, there aren't a lot of options (and if contact wasn't allowed, odds aren't bad that the extended family only suspected that things were bad for this child and didn't actually know for a fact how bad things were--if they'd known, they could have taken that to authorities). I know nothing about this situation personally or this poor girl's extended family, but that's kind of how things go. In fights between a parent and extended family over contact with/custody of a child, the burden of proof is on the extended family, and it's a heavy burden of proof.  In some situations (i.e., those in which the extended family are the ones who present a danger to the child rather than the parent) that's a really good thing. In situations like this,  though, not so much.

• Neither is a flight risk, no shit, they wouldn't get five feet without stopping for breath. Fucking disgusting human beings.

•  I know you are joking about the dad but it's not funny at all and it's in poor taste. That piece of shit was 100% involved in all the abuse and torture. What a stupid thing to post.

• Wow, I had believed that if one had stable housing, it would make a difference for marginalized families...obviously not so much. .

• That is some hilarious imagery.  Fucked up story, but hilarious imagery.

• I think the girl may be lying. u eat feces and most of the time u die. It takes very little to sicken an entire restaurant....

• How can anyone let a child go with this type of abused.Especialy their own child.This mistreatment of a child is disgusting,and they should lock them up,and through away the key.That little girl will be forever psychologically and emotionally mess up.They ruin her life;it will be hard for her to trust anyone ever again.They should have tuft laws on mistreatment of a child.

• I would have to say that the guy shouldn't be charged in this situation. I am sure that he was under severe mental distress/post-traumatic stress seeing that woman naked. This story definitely puts a negative stereotype against all those fat-ass women riding around on a scooter at Wall-Mart. You know, the ones that yell at the kid on the back of the scooter for putting Diet Coke in the cart instead of Coke!

• What is this world coming to?!!?? Don't people have morels? Well we can know in the end God will judge them!!!!!!

• They are gonna make money off her now how sad

• Seriously the reason their fatness has something to do with this is because they starved her and made her eat shit

• the attorney is stupid! defending them and claiming there good people i doubt that! look what they did!

• Even while in jail they will suck off the taxpayers tit they will get medical,dental,food,shelter and you know there are a lot of health issues already. But as they sit in that jail living off us the girl will probably be forgotten and have to fend for her self because it's sad the victims always seem to pay and lose more than the guilty. I pray for this girl that someone shows her love honest love and she blossoms inside and out.

• lmao! Thanks for a a chuckle after such a digusting story.

• why are the people who do this always grotesquely fat?

•  Ignore the troll and don't stoop to his or her level?

• only tree usable is in CA... redwood, nothing else would hold all that up

• I believe that the parents that abuse there childern or child should get more than just a slap on there hands because the law puts more time on animal abusers than humans theres someting wrong with this picture. who is behind these abuse is the devil and his angels because if someone was in there right mind wouldn't never have abuse there child.theres is no excuse I dont care what you have been through when you were a child.people just dont care, the word of god said that it will be like this when time gets closer for his return.we need to pray for all childern and people that are being abuse in this world .

• she is a minor and they are stetting up a trust for her, so that maybe  why the 'mom' is now interested. She has suffered enough, I don't think anyone who was remotely near or 'could' have helped her over the years should get to be near her now. They failed when it counted and didn't care enough to watch out for her then. Her extended family sounds like the best bet- AFTER they are thoroughly investigated - AND her trust fund is secured so no one can get to it or abuse her in again by leaching her $/ future. Dispicable, but you'd would ( or maybe you wouldn't) be surprised how often this kind of shit happens- and how bad our system(s) are at protecting children..... I should know.

• On top of all it, you all will like this one, the step-mother made the girl call her "your majesty" or "master", or she got more abuse!!

•  i am sure CPS is investigating the family first to make sure they too are not abusive and are stable before they allow the girl to live with them or what have you. This girl has been abused by her family, would you just hand her over to strangers who say they have her best interest in mind after knowing the history of these people,jusat because they say they care?? i would hope you would make certain they are the loving people they claim to be first. cPS may have failed in the past to protect her, but I don't see how they are doing it now simply because they are not allowing her to go with them without first screening them and perhaps they are also makeing sure she is physicall and mentally stable first. who knows why they do what they do,but i hope that they take their time and get it right,for her sake. If the family wants to support her then they will go and beg the judge for no mercy regarding the monsters these people are!!

• you took the words right out of my mouth!!! thats messed up! where is the hanging tree?

• i am wondering why the mother could not leave the abusive man she had relations with? i think thats a crutch for that woman. she was an adult and her obligation laid with protecting her daughter. If a judge terminated her rights as a parent it must be for good reason.If the mother chose to stay in that relationship which is what she said she did and it was a mistake, that in itself is abuse to the girl. to seee your mother being abused? thats mental abuse! At the same time if she really wanted her daughter she could have fought back to over turn the decision. as far as CPS keeping her from her family, I am sure they are investigating them first to make sure they are stable people. remember she sufferd from the hands of family and who is to say these people are not abusive as well. I wouldn't hand her over either untill i was sure they were the appropriate people to take care of her,especially knowing the familys history is unstable at best, would you?

• the girls biological mother is around and claimed to want her daughter back after giving her up for her boyfriend. The so- called "mother"(and my skin crawls when I think that I share that title with these people) said on the news that she made a mistake giving up her daughter,for a man she is no longer with. That being said, what makes this lady think in any way she deserves this girl back? Whats to say that she doesn't meet another man who she would be willing to exchange her lover for her child like in this current case? None of these people deserve to be called parents and I am just scratching the surface of what i think needs to be done to child abusers. How about starving these Fat F**ks and see how they like it? Or how about letting some other child molesters at the brother? in these cases I have no other feeling for these people other than rage and contempt!!! We as a society need an enima to flush out persons like this and rid ourselves of toxic waste like these people. They simply in my mind are not worth the air I breathe,and should just be non-exsistent!! These people and all child abusers and rapeists are not people at all they are monsters and are a cancer in our society. my heart goes out to this girl and all victims who suffer at the hand of the very people who are supposed to protect them.

•  well they obviously managed to make sure their needs were looked after. Scum. let them live off their own lard for a while.

• And aren't all wetbacks full of shit?

• They should no longer be allowed to breathe air.

• Holy shit. If there is a shred of truth to this. I cannot say what I am thinking. They should just go and kill themselves.

• do to the parents exactly what they did to their daughter.  or worse.

• I SAY NO BAIL! As long as we continue to make cars big enough for fat people, these fat people are a flight risk as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't take a physically fit person to sit still while the vehicle gets you the fuck out of town. Also, how can they refer to themselves as "parents." Just because you have a kid doesn't make you a parent. Parents would never do that to their child. Both of these obese monsters are unfit to be called parents. 

• disgusting! horrible! obviously they have never missed a meal! 

• The biological family has created a trust fund, referring to the teen by her initials.  “A trust has been established which will be used for enriching and enhancing the quality of SLC’s life.  Especially supplemental and extra health care not otherwise available, as well as educational expenses, and to bring new, positive enjoyment and new, positive experience to her life,” cousin Tanya Hansen said. WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU THE LAST FIVE YEARS BIOLOGICAL FAMILY?

• She's not your stereotypical woman with a hyphenated last name...

• Roller-PIG

• Did you miss the article stating "according to the Associated Press,"

• Clearly not a flight risk. I've never seen a pair of hippos fly. 

• A trust fund has been setup for the child via Foley & Lardner Law firm with independent trustees to oversee. The money will be used for much needed health services that are not covered by the government assistance program. To donate a check can be made out to SLC Trust Fund and sent to any Marine Credit Union, or Marine Credit Union, PO Box 510, Waupun, WI 53963 or you can donate via paypal to SLCtrustfund@gmail.com

• The maternal side of the family living in Wisconsin tried for years, many many times, to have contact with the child, but all attempts were thwarted. They wanted to include the child for family functions, taking her on an outing to the zoo or museum all were thwarted by the father. Just has he thwarted  CPS and they had the law on their side they could have used.  There is no precedent in Wisconsin to allow extended family visitation. CPS is even keeping her family from her now, which is wrong! If she ever needed to know that she has loving family who love and and want to help it is now! CPS is failing her still at this very moment. 

• Her mother was in a very abusive relationship and could not save herself, but at least she could save her daughter by having her father take her. Her only choice the judge in Texas allowed was terminating her parental rights. She had no reason not to trust her ex husband.  The maternal side of the family living in Wisconsin tried for years, many many times, to have contact with the child, but all attempts were thwarted.

• No kidding!  This poor girl, thank heavens she escaped.  As for the family and this sort of arrangement, they can an all just f*cking die.  Social darwinism, straight up.  It seems much more inhumane to support this sort of depraved lifestyle in any way. 

• It would be nice to have them be punished for what they did - that means life sentences or at least let loose in the public where they crimes are published where ever they are live.  I am sure the local community will take responsibility to dish out fair punishment.

• i thought all gringo's ate their own feces…...

• You must be on the chubby side your self if your defending the point that the writers mentioned their "fatness" and not the fact they abused this poor girl.

• I THINK THEY SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME WAY THEY TREATED THE GIRL...AND SEE HOW THEY LIKE IT. APPARENTLY THE FATHER AND STEPMOTHER NEEDED THE FOOD TO KEEP THEIR FAT BODS.

• What in the hell does their fatness have to do with it? There are Lenny of skinny horrors out there too.

• CHAD CHRITTON IS HER FATHER NOT STEPFATHER.

• The title of this column is Weird Wisconsin.....do you need more information regarding where Wisconsin is located?

• This is aweful...I wanna kick their asses and feed THEM poop...That poor girl

• Prosecute to the fullest, all three of those monsters! I hope the girl is able to mentally survive & thrive after this horrific life?  Are there any relatives who can offer her a safe home? Is she being offered counselling? Poor thing...Will be watching for updates- this is heart-breaking...    :(

• Behold American Family Values !

• What's amazing is that the house this "family" was living in was built by Habitat for Humanity six years ago. In other words, they were living in a house they got for free, living off of taxpayer money, and essentially had plenty of free time to sexually abuse, assault, and torture this girl. Welcome to the perfect product of the American Dream.

• Yes, I see he corrected it.  Initially he incorrectly had step father.

• I think they deserve to sit without bail, without a bathroom, and without food.

• How is it you guys can report a story without telling us where it took place until the very end, and even then, only give a state?  

• I read it as father, step-mother, and step-brother.

• Chad Chritton was her step father and Melinda Drabek-Chritton is her step mother?  Where are her real parents?

• The "monsters" tag is especially fitting for this article. 

• Where do you hipsters come up with this stuff?
