12-Year-Old Killed by 'Evil' Parents' Horrifying Torture and Abuse: Cops

Police in Pennsylvania are analyzing the photos and videos taken by a couple that allegedly show them abusing 12-year-old Malinda Hoagland. Investigators say while Malinda attended school online, she was often shackled in the basement of her home. Her father, Rendell Hoagland, and his fiancé, Cindy Warren, face multiple child abuse charges in connection with Malinda's death. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down this new case of alleged child abuse with former Pennsylvania prosecutor Matt Mangino.

This country mindlessly respects the privacy of families, even though it has led to countless cases of children dying and/or enduring horrific trauma with no proper government involvement. The over-stand of independence granted to parents and lack of regulation to ensure child safety has cost so many innocent lives. There are no current U.S. agencies that successfully protect children against abuse and neglect, although there are cases of children being taken away from mentally fit parents due to financial struggle. There are not enough social workers to perform mandatory welfare checks, yet everyday there seems to be a new case that is closed after a child is not deemed in danger. There are no home visits because we must respect the privacy of one’s property & familial unit, which obviously lies within their rights, yet so many people take advantage of this. It hurts my heart to know that we currently have nothing in effect to genuinely protect kids.

There are to many horrible things happening to kids, there are to many individuals that are not even human and shouldn’t have access to innocent babies.

The adults are pretty healthy looking. How do parents do these things. Rest easy sweet child.

Sadistic Pleasure🚩🚩

Poor girl, she never stood a chance when it’s at the hands of people that should be protecting her from others. Another case where the parents are home schooling to prevent the abuse from being seen. Its not uncommon and really think there needs to be a process put in place where home schooled kids are routinely checked up om, but of course its never going to happen when child welfare is already massively under funded and can’t adequately manage what they already have. How do govts have trillions to spend on weapons, but can’t find just a fraction of that to help those who are often the most vulnerable in society. Its the same case here in the UK.

In a lot of these cases, the ones that look like they should miss a few meals are the one starving kids. 50 lbs at 12? They both look evil. Shackled in a basement? I bet if they had pets, the pets were treated better than the child.

Reference for anyone curious as to how underweight she was, I was 80 pounds at age 12 and my doctors were urging me to gain weight. This breaks my heart.

Absolutely disgusting. That poor little girl. Being a parent is an honor not a privilege.
