A girl who was locked up by her mother inside their home for the first six years of her life couldn’t eat, read, or write. A detective who discovered her said it was the worst case of child abuse he'd seen in decades on the job.
The girl, named Danielle Crockett, or Dani, was discovered by a Florida detective who responded to a child abuse report in July 2005, reported the Tampa Bay Times. The official, Mark Holste, said that someone saw the girl looking out a broken window.
