Lady deliberately starved by grandfather shares recovery photos

A Japanese lady in her 20s who identified herself as Wild Cabbage on Twitter, took to the platform to recount the abuse she suffered in the hand of her grandfather who she lived with 10 years ago. 

In the harrowing reality of domestic abuse, Wild Cabbage dropped to just 2 stone 6 pounds after being starved by her grandfather, who banned her from eating and according to her, when caught by her grandfather secretly eating, he would “kick her in the belly”.

The lady who shared new photos of herself 10 years after while campaigning for domestic violence victims to “ask for help before it’s too late”, said the medics who came to her aid after she got help, told her she was just 10 minutes from death.

Though she hasn’t revealed what happened to her grandfather, some people on social media have claimed the images have been photoshopped but the woman insists they are real.

She even posted further photos, which she says were taken when she was receiving treatment in hospital 10 years ago.

Here are photos she shared below;

 

In 2016, a 16-year-old girl from Iowa ended up dying from starvation after her parents allegedly tortured her and deprived of food, clothing and health care. 

Natalie Finn from West Des Moines died October 24 from emaciation due to denial of critical care, according to the Polk County medical examiner’s office. 

Her mother, 42-year-old Nicole Marie Finn of West Des Moines, and father, 45-year-old Joseph Michael Finn II were charged with her death.

Both faced charges of first-degree kidnapping, child endangerment causing serious injury and neglect of a dependent person. Nicole Finn was charged with first-degree murder and child endangerment causing death.

According to court documents, Nicole Finn killed her daughter ‘intentionally, willfully, deliberately, with premeditation and malice aforethought.’

The Finns are accused of secretly confining Natalie and two of her siblings, a 14-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy, inside their small home in West Des Moines.
