Well, I guess I will bring down everybody's morning. I have to tell myself that people like this are few and far between. There are so many more good people in this world. Unfortunately it's stories like this that make the headlines.

quote:

A Minnesota father and stepmom were charged with murder this week in the death of the man’s 8-year-old daughter whose body was found severely emaciated, police said.

Police in Elk River responded to a call last Thursday of a girl who was found unresponsive in a bathtub, FOX 9 in Minneapolis reported.

Autumn's body was described as “‘markedly cachectic’ with scant fatty tissue, atrophic musculature, atrophic thyroid and marked hair loss,” the medical examiner said, according to the charges. She weighed 45 pounds when she died, People reported.

Sarah Hallow allegedly told police she found Autumn face down in the bathtub that day. Officers didn’t find water in the tub but they found feces inside and blood in different parts of the bathroom.

The Hallow’s 6-year-old son and Sarah Hallow’s 10-year-old daughter allegedly told investigators that their parents would often tie Autumn up with a belt, a sweatshirt or put her in a sleeping bag when she misbehaved, FOX 9 reported.

The 6-year-old alleged Autumn was sometimes kept in the sleeping bag overnight in the living room and at least once in the bathroom – and would only be allowed to eat or drink if one of them brought her food.

The boy allegedly said the day she died he heard her screaming in the bathroom as Sarah yelled at her and then a loud bang. He said his mother told him Autumn had fallen down.

After searching the apartment, investigators found the sweatshirt and another shirt the children said she had been tied up with soiled and human hair in a garbage bag in the bedroom, according to FOX 9.

Sarah Hallow allegedly told officers she had noticed Autumn was losing weight and hair and didn’t take her to the doctor but the couple denies the charges and tying her up.

Autumn's mother, Kelsey Kruse, in a Facebook post wrote, "Your father kept you from me for several months, and he then took your life. I hope you know how much I tried to get you. ... All of your siblings were lucky to have a sister like you." She said the couple hadn't allowed her to see their daughter for months and Autumn had been healthy the last time she saw her, according to People.


I could be wrong, but how big of a piece of shite do you have to be as a mother to lose custody of your kid. I'm making an assumption here. I suppose the father could have just taken her, but I doubt it.

Seriously what the f$@k is wrong with these people who could abuse a small child like this. How does their brain rationalize this type of behavior as OK.

She seems normal with two other kids and a husband. I was kind of surprised actually and was fully expecting a low life that didn't have custody of her own child.

Hello this is Caitlin Morgan, Kelsey Kruse's sister in law. Kelsey wanted me to let everyone know that she is overhelmed with joy with the amount of people thinking of her and her family during this difficult time. The support from the community has been amazing! Please continue to keep their family in your thoughts and prayers as this is no journey any parent should have to walk.



From the mom..

I hate you. I hate you both. You have been ruining my life for YEARS and now you have given me and my family a permanent scar. You took something we will never get back. You neglected and abused my son and when that wasn't enough you moved down the line of children you have. I will make sure that Autumn is remembered in the most beautiful way possible because she deserves nothing less. I wanted to give her the world and I will find a way to make sure I still do. I hope your other chidren know what you did and I hope they grow up knowing that their sister saved them.

Autumm,
My beautiful sweet baby. These photos are a perfect representation of who you are. Always smiling and being silly. You loved SO much.
Your father kept you from me for several months and he then took your life. I hope you know how much I tried to get you. I hope you know how much I love every single part of who you are and I am so proud of how incredibly kind, thoughtful and amazing you are. I have no idea what to do without you. Noah and Delylah and all of your siblings were lucky to have a sister like you. I am so proud to be your mother and I know you will always be with me. I love you Autumn Lee ??

People do shitty things in custody battles. You don't know anything about what she did or didn't know.

I’d say shoot them in the head, but that’s too quick. Burn them alive.

They should use people like this as live targets in military training.
