Info Post
From Book Girl at Falling Off My Pedestal, I hear about this UK couple and their unbelievable campaign of violence against a child:
She was forced to eat her own faeces and will be "scarred for life" after boiling water was poured on her hands, causing third degree burns.

The sick couple also yanked clumps of hair from her head, leaving bald patches and open wounds, and kicked her repeatedly in the groin, causing "horrendous bruises" plus liver damage.

The girl, who has cerebral palsy, was also forced to sleep naked in a dark toilet and eat her own faeces in Duncan's twisted idea of potty training.

She was also malnourished as Duncan refused to let her eat unless she could feed herself with her severely weakened hand, meaning she ate mainly porridge.
They've received a total of 22 years in prison, according to the news report.

Locally, I keep hearing the ABC news affiliate advertise a story of a woman who sold her developmentally disabled sister to someone, and received just 8 months in jail, but I cannot find any evidence of the case yet on the internets.
