Anna let her dogs raise her daughter so she could drink

[horsegirl]

A three-year-old girl has been found being cared for by dogs while her alcoholic mother neglected her.

Social workers discovered the girl in her mother's house in Russia, naked and walking on all fours, gnawing bones with the dogs who she clung to for warmth.

The child, called Madina, only knows two words - yes and no - and growls like a dog when people come too close, Russian media reported.

Madina

Honestly, I read it twice and I still thought I was reading it wrong.... Talk about a joke of a mother. Her daughter was being raised by dogs....literately.
Well, she's alive and other than lacking human social and language skills, doesn't look like they did a bad job either...better than that bitch.


Madina, from Ufa in central Russia, was shunned by other local children in her neighbourhood.

Her mother, known only as Anna, 23, had ignored her for most of her life, police said.

Anna ate at the table while allowing her daughter to eat on the floor with the dogs.

The girl's mother often disappeared and was also frequently too drunk to look after for her child.

'The child is angelic but she has been deprived of love and care, except from the dogs,' said a social worker.

'When her mother was angry she used to run away, but no child played with her in the playground,' said one newspaper report.

'She hardly knew a single word, and fought with everyone.

'So dogs became her best friends. She played with them, and slept with them when it was cold in winter.'

The girl's father disappeared soon after her birth, which led to Madina's mother drinking, said neighbours.

She often invited local alcoholics to her house, completely ignoring her little child, they said.

When police arrived to take the child into care, Anna reportedly claimed: 'I do look after my daughter.'

Medics say the girl is mentally and physically healthy despite her ordeal.

i can guar-an-damn-tee that those dogs did a better job than that twatwaffle ever could.

So she fed the dogs bones, but didnt feed her own child? I am just speechless. WTF?

[Undeniable Truth]

There have been far too many cases of feral children, the result of treatment such as this.

It fucking disgusts me.

Thankfully; at 3 years old, there may be a chance for Madina to have a normal life if "the window" hasn't already been passed.

Worst is what will happen if she is put in a Russian Orphanage due to her social incompatability.....
Poor girl.

She looks a little puffy. Maybe she should quit drinking.

Check out this list of kids raised in isolation or by animals.
It's incredible.

Huh? She growls and has two words. How is that mentally healthy? I hope she recovers in a loving atmospere.

What's the big deal? I was raised by a pack of hyenas, and I turned out fine.
