[Serononin]

Cousin says neglected, malnourished Oneida teen is recovering, but has long way to go

Relatives of a 14-year-old girl who was found weighing only 35 pounds want the community to know she is now safe and in good hands.

"According to the criminal complaint, the girl suffered from multiorgan dysfunction, including respiratory failure, cardiac dysfunction, severe acute hepatitis and pancreatitis"

My god, she must have been in so much pain I hope she knows nothing but love and support for the rest of her life (and I hope the dogs find good homes, too!)
