Woman locked in shed for 25 years

[QueenOfQuotes]

omg and very

blimey she had been in there since i was 5 !!!!

I have just read through this again and had to post I know I'll p* some people off but I am appalled at pph attitude esp the still laughing bit you obviously really are a bit of a princess(runs for cover!)Haven't changed my name as see no point

wwb - shock... how cruel people are as obviously her mother was mentally ill !!

glad u said it noddy holder!! I agree!

thanks m and s I usually avoid rows tbh but sometimes......

This is abuse of the worst kind

How weird to find anything at all to laugh at

"The family said she was not mistreated and was given food and water regularly. "

Not mistreated??? Did they think locking her away in a teeny room was kind and caring???

It wasn't really a SHED, it was a small room. People who are thought to be 'mentally ill' are locked in small rooms ALL THE TIME, even in this country.

MP

In the article it says she does not appear to be mentally ill, she was naked when rescued and the photo of the place she was kept in shows a tumbledown outhouse and the photo of the woman herself looks as though she has aged more than would be expected.

Where are mentally ill peopled regularly locked in small rooms in this country?

What, morningpaper?

I'd hardly call it a room! it was only a few feet high. And it looks smaller than our neighbours outhouse - which is tiny inside!

Shocking sory, poor woman, how must she feel after being locked up for so long!

What I find MORE shocking however, is that some-one seems to find it funny! I'd like to see how funny they find it, being locked up & neglected like that!

lordy lordy lordy.
I did admit that the story was shocking, after I read it, but I STILL think the thread title is hilarious. Obviously, Melissasmummywithnosenseofhumour, the fact that I find the word "shed" incredibly amusing doesn't necessarily mean that I want to be locked in one for 25 years..... sheesh.

still laughing - so shoot me

Totally awful, but you know similar thngs used to go on here- I met an elderly woman in the Psychiatric hospital i trained at who had been sectioned at 12 because her hand was deformed; she had become so institutionalized she had never left the hospital since (though she did sit in the staff canteen and have full freedom).

[anger] for all people in this situation

And it's not funny PPH. It just isn't.

Hi pph

I don't have a sense of humour even just in regard to the thread title either [puzzled emoticon]

I think if someone can find amusement in this story so shamelessly then I can only conclude that they have little or no ability to empathise with peoples' suffering.

PPH, If having a sense of humour means that I would find this thread title as funny as you do, then I am glad I don't have one.

"Woman locked in small room with no toilet,no communication with outside world & lilted food & drink for 25 years"

Still funny?

sorry, should be "Limited food & drink"

PPH you are a truly dreadful arrogant person thank god the rest of us have more compassion or it would be a sad world .

PPH-You have a warped sense of humour.

What a sad story! The thing is, it's just one incident, how many other atrocities like this go on in the world?
The world just never ceases to amaze me, if we knew everything that was going on right now we would all be insane, I'm sure of it.

WWW - what a sad story Made me a bit tearful.

princess would u find it as funny if it was a child in this country

She's laughed so much she's lost her voice I think!
