The only ever so slight possibly less gut wrenching part here is, from reading the full story in the link, it sounds as if they were hiding her there while the authorities were looking around. It doesn't seem to say anywhere she actually lived in the staircase.

Still a fricking terrible story, and who knows what happened in that house with her parents that kidnapped her, but hopefully nothing based on her being in good health and able to be immediately returned to her legal guardian.

I'm sure people will interpret this the wrong way, but it doesn't seem clear she was living under the stairs or being kept there. I say that based on how tiny that space is and the fact that her abductor, which sounds like a parent, was in there with her. The alternative obviously being that it was a hiding place to avoid being caught when people poked around the parent's house looking for a kidnapped child.

That possibility is bolstered by the line about her being in good health/condition. Anyway, even if it was short term it's obviously selfish and perhaps damaging, but I'm not sure this is one of those "kept a kid in a cage for years" things.
