The story

From Cleveland, Ohio. Suffered from abuse by her mother and stepfather since she was 11 months old, then placed in a foster care, but when she was taken back her father beat her to death. Lot of people were angry at why she came back to her own parents. During her abuse, she had to to do a death march inside the house and wasn't allowed to stop. Everytime she did, she was struck with a baseball bat with a metallic tip at the end. When she was allowed to sleep, she had to sleep naked on a baby mattress in the living room when she wet the bed-that was her punishment. Every time she asked for a glass of water, she was told she could have water if she could drink Tabasco sauce and keep it down. When she finally kept it down, her stepfather drank the water in front of her. She had internal bleeding after she received a tear in her kidney and died from uremic shock.
