Once there was a little girl, who lived on a farm. She was a happy kid, a smart kid.
One day she decided to play with matches. Her Mom came in and she quickly hid the lit match behind her back. This caught her crinelin on fire, whereas she ran around the house screaming in agony and terror. Her mother rolled her until the fire went out and took her to the hospital with third degree burns all up her legs and inbetween.
The Hospital covered her in goose grease and left her to continue screaming and crying in agony. Once inawhile a nurse would come in and say "Be quiet or I'll spank your burn.". She wet the bed, and noone was there quick enough to clean it, causing it to burn her injured legs.
At the time, in the fifites, parents wern't allowed to visit as they are now. He mother was with her sparingly.
They laid her by the kitchen, wide open for the world to see, naked and lying on her back. The cook couldn't handle the screaming, so she'd go in and rock her without suiting up. This caused staph infection where she found herself being shipped to Edmonton for 20 more days of isolation and pain.
Somewhere in there, her mind snapped. Her big sister came to visit her from Hairdressing school and found a wild eyed little girl (like a deer) lying alone and naked in a public place, already well developed as the family grew quickly for their age.
The family claims that she was the never the same after that. She went crazy. She grew up and had a few children. The oldest stayed with her mother for two years and had a good life. A sweet, cherub faced redheaded little boy. Her mother took him on as her own and became quite attached.
Until she came back and demanded him as her own. That day, she took him away from the only home and mother he knew and replaced his life with abuse and cruelty.
Something happened in that hospital that caused her to become very cruel. If the kids had colds she'd wake them up and shove vicks up their nose and down their throat....she would lock them in the basement, beat them with boards and burn them with cigarettes. She'd make them eat to little or to much, never a normal meal.
The little boy came back to Grandma a different kid. Somewhere along the line he had snapped as his mother had years before. The once happy, cherub faced free loving little boy was now a terrified teen with pop bottle glasses that would sit, stiff, with his hands crossed and his head down for fear that his mother might 'catch him' making a move. She told them to sit and that's what they have to do.
This boy grew up to strapping 6'7, 250 pound man. He moved back in with his Grandma promptly, but things had changed. When I'd dress I'd turn around and find the door slightly ajar. He had become, well, wierd. Then we caught him one day. He was molesting his three year old neice downstairs while we sat and had coffee.
For this, he went to jail where he was diagnosed as a pedophile and incurable sociopath. They kept him for five years and let him out.
The little girl grew up. She is now anerexic and an overacheiver. Doing well for herself, but a mess inside.
He has scammed Grandma out of pretty well all of the grandchildrens inheritance money, to the tune of 100,000 dollars, for fake college courses and emergencies. If he did a forty dollar job, he'd say it was four hundred.
So there you have it. A true story about how one persons actions towards another can set off an unprecedented chain of events throughout three generations.
I always wondered why she was so cruel. It was the one thing I never got. How could she be so cruel to her babies??? I heard this story, of her and her burns, while I was at Grandpa's farm and it changed my outlook a little. That poor girl! What a horrid, dehumanizing, traumatic experiance to lay in your own piss, covered in burns, naked before the world with no curtain to hide yourself. The only comfort when a nurse comes in suited up and then threatens to spank your burn if you don't shuttup.
All this at eight years old.
So, where does one assign blame? Do we blame her for being cruel to her kids? Do we blame him for molesting a child? Or, do we blame those F'ING NURSES!!!!
I'm opting for the nurses. If they had treated her with kindness, none of this would have taken place.
So there. I've said it. REmember this people. Be good to others.
CKA Uber 
That's horrible.
