Mentally Challenged Victims Held Hostage for Social Security Checks

[DefConGun]

This is evil;

Three people - including a woman who served eight years in prison for starving to death a man held in the closet of her North Philadelphia apartment in 1981 - were charged Sunday with holding four mentally challenged adults chained in the cellar of a Tacony apartment house for weeks in an alleged scheme to steal their Social Security checks.

The alleged victims - three men and a woman ranging in age from 29 to 41 - were treated for malnutrition and put in the care of mental-health officials. Police said they were being interviewed with the help of mental-health experts.

The malnourished adults - lying in their own filth in the 10-by-15-foot room - could not answer him, Gozleveli said. One man's left ankle was chained to a boiler pipe, he said. There were bathroom buckets, but no food except a container of orange juice.

The four, all severely mentally challenged, Gozleveli said, looked like "they did not know what world they were living [in]."

Let the justice fit the crime, lock them up in an unlit room and just forget about them.

There is a special place in hell for people like this.

From a news story--"Linda Ann Weston, who had been convicted of murder in a 1981 starvation death."

Sounds like she has had some practice and learned nothing by being in jail. One has to wonder what that 1981 case was about and how she was able to get free after 10 years.

That leopard sure didn't change her spots.

Here's a fitting punishment:

Oubliette - (noun, french) a little place of forgetting. A small, windowless room where someone is locked away, forgotten, left to go mad. ...
