      Oh god, this story is fucking vile. She was too scared of her disgusting, scumbag, dregs of humanity parents to say what was required to get her to safety. I wonder what kind of people would do this to a lovely, innocent little girl with her whole life ahead of her. In cases like this, where there’s clearly more than one or even two people complicit in routinely beating the shit out of a child, you have to ask questions about the kind of community they come from. It’s not a lone crazy person, it’s her parents and even her extended family.

      It’s horrible to think about how long she suffered and how terrified she must have been in the one space where a child should feel safe, at home with her family. Fuck these animals, they’re not human, humans are supposed to have empathy and compassion, logic and reasoning. No human could live with themselves after doing this to a child. The fact they have denied the charges shows no remorse either. There just isn’t a legal punishment robust enough for abusers like these.

      I’m not particularly spiritual, but if there is some sort of afterlife, I can only hope they get the absolute worst of it. Nothing they will suffer in this life will be adequate.

      In the book A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (who wrote the Kite Runner, it’s discussed in the story that the husband character forces his wife to cover her face and hair outdoors because her bruises are no one’s business, and therefore he has free rein to commit domestic violence unchecked. 

       I had never thought about it like that before reading that book and it is such a terrifying, claustrophobic notion.

      I’m not clued up on the reasons why they’re forced to wear concealing clothing so happy to be enlightened. I always thought it was a combination of “I don’t want other people looking at my women” and “My arranged bride isn’t attractive and I don’t want to be seen with her”

      If the reason for the full covering is a handy way of hiding domestic abuse then there’s definitely a darker side for the reason why women are forced to conceal themselves.

      > Mr Emlyn Jones KC said a bloodstained cricket bat, a rolling pin with Sara’s DNA on it, a metal pole, a belt and rope were found near the family’s outhouse.

      Well, the father seemed to think he was ‘punishing her legally’. It’d be interesting to establish precisely which law he thinks let’s him do that.

      Can we take the animal that did this to the same farm in the valleys my dog went to?

      Reading this is hard. It’s even more infuriating that the neighbours heard all of this and did nothing.

      If I heard my neighbours inflicting pain on a child – you better believe I’d be calling the police.
