I can't stop thinking about the Sylvia Likens case. I learned about it literally over a decade ago and it's still burned into my mind, and resurfaces every so often. It's honestly terrifying just to imagine the sheer cruelty the girl went through. I mean, I know there are genocides and ethnic cleansings that are worse in scale, but shit like that, on an individual level, is just awful, and I wonder how many similar cases might be going on this exact instant.
