Why are child protective services so determined to leave a child with their biological parents when there being neglected
Sadly, cases like this are not as rare as they once were. Every now and again another child is found living like that and it breaks your heart to think of it.
I remember a documentary about another girl called Genie years back who had spent twelve years imprisoned in her bedroom because her 'father' decided she was profoundly retarded and banned anyone even speaking to her.
Some people aren't fit to walk this earth.

Hence the reason why some kind of 'approvement' laws should be introduced to anyone who wants a child to see if they are suitable parents. (or not)
Most people can have kids...it is the appropriate looking after and financial security that is required for ANY child to have a stable and loving up-bringing.
Foster parents and adoptive parents have to be approved...so why not everyone else?
Yeah but unless you're going to bring a law legalising forced abortions an 'approvement law' would be imposbile to enforce. Anyone who get pregnant under 16 is breaking the law but you dont see many of em thrown in jail...
American chat shows always treat mentally disabled people like pitiable second class citizens who have bits missing and need rescuing. Disabled kids are never shown respect and are rarely talked to directly. Their pov is also never shown, with all the focus being on the weepy, 'heroic' parent who gets all the sympathy for what they have had to give up to raise this 'empty shell/monster/ghost".
One such thing (Autism Speaks promo video) showed a mother talking about how the only reason she hadn't killed her autistic daughter was because she had a normal daughter at home. She admitted it was a moment of madness I wouldn't have worried to much if she hadn't said in IN FRONT OF HER AUTISTIC CHILD like she was braindead and couldn't hear or understand. But guess what? Everyone's reaction was 'ooh, shes sooo brave *sob sob, fap fap*.
The girl the OP mentioned deserves to be respected and treated like a person, not used as cannon fodder for a sob story. But in her case, even the experts couldn't manage it. One said "Whatever makes a person human is missing" (deeply offensive). Another said she had 'environmental autism' (which doesn't exist and is something else entirely anyway. How did this guy ever become a doctor?) Then the journalist called her a 'creature'. Even her parents tell her to stop doing what calms her down because it isn't 'normal' and the journalist says 'as if she cares how they feel' like she shouldn't care about anyone because she's disabled. And how can anyone get 'lost inside themselves'? Also, the way the parents just shoved their son out of the way is horrible.
I hope she has been taught to speak. Past a certain age, it is actually supposed to be nearly impossible to learn with no basis to build on.
I noticed that too. Poor kid.
