WTH????!?!?!?! Are you serious? A man chained his 15 year old daughter to the bed because he wanted to stop her from “overeating” because he thought she is “fat??????????????” Are you KIDDING ME??
On and off for two days, Blue’s 15-year-old daughter was chained to her bed. She was found beaten and in tears — all because Blue thought she was overweight, according to a police report.
My Google Reader presents me several news stories a day that anger me, but this was one of the worst today. My father gets after me about my weight all the time, in the name of health of course, but he never chained me to the bed to keep me from eating! If he had I’d still be being chained to the bed because I’m still fat!
So, you want your daughter to weigh less, for her martial arts class. You find illegal pea and corn containers (peas and corn? seriously? I’d probably have gotten a party if my parents had saw me sneaking peas and corn!!!) and think to yourself “Oh, I’ll show her. I’ll chain her to the bed so she’ll stop heading to the fridge!!! Oh, and I’ll beat her with a stick and kick her a few times just to make sure she gets the message!”
So, let’s see, you’ve taken away her self-confidence, self-esteem, freedom, security – great job! You’ve now shown your daugher not only that you don’t find her a beautiful miracle, but that you don’t even value her safety and health. Family trust = broken.
Would you also chain your wife to the bed and kick her (or worse) if she doesn’t want to vaccum or cook your favorite dinner?!? I hope you get a clue dude.
He had also padlocked the refrigerator and cabinets where the food was to keep her from eating. What I want to know is where the hell was her mother and why was she letting him do this to her daughter? Did she agree with him? Or was he abusive to her too, and she was afraid to stick up for her daughter for fear of the same treatment? Whoever reported on this certainly didn’t do enough digging to get the whole story.
No, no they certainly didn’t do a great job covering this. I wondered myself where the mom was, or if she was involved in some way, and also if there are any siblings that were being treated the same way. I’d imagine that if there are other people in the family they are being abused as well.
