Not long ago, a media report in the United States reported a message of child abuse, which attracted a lot of attention in a very short time.
The story is roughly as follows: a United States couple adopts a Chinese girl.
thought it was the beginning of a happy life, but it turned out to be that this Chinese girl fell directly into "hell".
After more than ten years of abuse, this Chinese girl has suffered tremendous physical and mental damage.
Later, the Chinese girl was lucky enough to escape the clutches.
In order to make the evil United States couple pay for what they did in the past, the Chinese girl directly sued them in court and even wrote a 70-page indictment.
So, has the purpose of the Chinese girl been achieved? What happened to this event?
1. Adopted by United States adoptive parents
It all started in 2004.
In 2004, an United States couple who seemed amiable but actually had a femme fatale came to an orphanage in Hunan, China.
Because it was a visit from foreign friends, the director of the orphanage attached great importance to their arrival and held a lively welcome ceremony.
After the ceremony, the dean specially invited the United States couple to the cafeteria.
In a brief exchange, the United States couple did not hesitate to say the purpose of the trip: to adopt a Chinese child here.
Led by the director, the United States couple met dozens of children in the orphanage and eventually decided to adopt a 14-month-old girl.
The other children in the orphanage were very envious of the girl, and they all thought that she was about to live a happy and prosperous life, even the director.
After they came here, they donated a large amount of money to the orphanage, which greatly improved the current situation of the orphanage's insufficient funds.
And the truth is, as the children think, the United States couple is one of the few millionaires in the United States.
According to them, the United States couple's specific address is Helena Avenue in New Boston, on a 27-acre plot of land with an indoor floor area of 4,300 square feet.
Therefore, the orphanage did not carefully investigate the United States couple and let them take the girl after completing the relevant adoption procedures.
After coming to the United States, although the United States couple gave her a brand new name - "Olivia · Artcochitis".
But instead of fulfilling his promise to let Olivia live the life that a child deserves, it is the beginning of Olivia's hellish life.
2. A hellish life
While children of the same age are thriving and living their own happy childhoods without worry, Olivia has lived a nightmare life since she was three years old and has memories of her own.
By this time, Olivia recalled, the adoptive parents had come to treat themselves as "livestock."
Not only is there no so-called freedom, but they are often chained to metal posts, and even their dwellings are like "kennels".
His room is the basement of his home, which is also a "dungeon" built for him by his adoptive parents.
The entire basement is extremely limited, measuring only 64 square feet (about 6 square meters), and looks extremely dark, with only one window with barbed wire.
Not only is there no other furniture in the room, not even a bed, only a toilet made of buckets, and every time in the summer, the room becomes stinky and mosquito-infested.
In order to prevent themselves from escaping, the adoptive parents not only handcuffed themselves, but also installed an alarm device in the room.
In addition to poor living conditions, Olivia was often abused by her adoptive parents.
Whenever she needs to work at home, she will get a short period of "freedom" and a breath of fresh air from the outside world.
It can be said that Olivia contracts almost all the labor in the family, she is not only responsible for cleaning weeds, manure and other labor, but even taking care of the animals on the farm.
"Wake up earlier than the chicken, sleep later than the dog" is not just a lie, but has happened to Olivia.
Over the years, Olivia's body has become skinny, and even her hands have been deformed.
Also, in order to completely erase Olivia's rebellious thoughts, her adoptive parents instilled in her every day that "her biological mother doesn't love her" and "people like her should be slaves".
In addition to this, Olivia has also become a tool used by adoptive parents to vent their grievances.
Whenever the adoptive parents are dissatisfied with themselves, or have conflicts with others outside, they will curse themselves in the most vicious language, and even force themselves to eat chili peppers, which are full of irritating food, to vent their resentment.
Once, she was forcibly fed a bottle of chili sauce by her adoptive parents, and under the protection of her body's instincts, she vomited quickly after eating the chili pepper.
Olivia didn't think about resisting, but every time she was beaten by her adoptive parents.
And what about running away? This is even more unlikely, she will be locked up in the basement every day, and even if she does escape in the end, she will not be able to live in the outside world.
For more than a decade, her adoptive parents not only did not allow her to communicate with the outside world, but also did not apply for any documents to prove her identity.
3. Get out of hell
Fortunately, there is no end to the road, and in 2018, Olivia finally waited for a good opportunity to escape from the devil's cave.
It turned out that the long detention had caused her adoptive parents to relax their vigilance, and on September 5 of that year, she managed to find an opportunity to dig through the nearby plaster wall and escape into the surrounding woods.
At this time, the truest thought in her heart is to do her best to stay away from this hell on earth.
Perhaps it was time to escape, but after escaping, Olivia met a good Samaritan and decided to get justice for her after learning what had happened to her.
After about a month of recuperation, Olivia's health basically returned to normal, and she went to the local police station to report her parents under the leadership of well-wishers.
In this way, she obviously could not vent the resentment in her heart, and then went to the court to formally sue her adoptive parents.
To that end, Olivia also wrote a 70-page indictment listing each of the counts against her adoptive parents and detailing what had happened to her over the years.
The police soon opened an investigation, the adoptive parents were arrested, and the local court accepted the case.
It is worth mentioning that it is not only Olivia who has been abused, but also several parents and children of the adoptive parents.
Although their fate was much better than that of Olivia, they were brutally treated by their parents.
According to local media, as early as 2011, one of the family's children reported to the school that he had been abused by his parents at home.
He also told the teacher that Olivia, the youngest in the family, was subjected to the most brutal abuse and was often whipped.
Although the police accepted the child abuse incident, they only took away the child who had reported it to the school, and instead ignored Olivia.
So after they learned that their parents were in police custody and were also prosecuted by Olivia, they immediately expressed their willingness to testify in court for Olivia.
In court, they told the judge that we would be beaten by our parents on a regular basis, especially Olivia, who was treated more brutally.
One of the children also told the judge: "Her parents almost completely treated Olivia as garbage, she was beaten by her parents every day, and she was covered with scars. ”
Child abuse in the United States is a very serious matter and is often punished with heavy sentences.
Ironically, although Olivia's adoptive parents eventually confessed to their guilt, they were not severely punished.
One was sentenced to only six months, while the other even escaped jail.
This is the self-proclaimed "beacon of the world" in United States, in which it is difficult not to doubt that there is no so-called racial discrimination!
Olivia's lawyer later said this:
"As the lawsuit shows, it's shocking that the people who were supposed to protect her didn't protect her. It seems to me that the state allowed slavery to exist in its jurisdiction, and the state was indifferent to it! ”
