Well-wishers dropping off gifts at the house of the 13 abused
siblings, though nobody lives there anymore.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The oldest of the 13 California siblings who
authorities said were imprisoned by their parents was frail, smelly
and picked on as a grade school student in Texas, one of her
classmates said in a heart-wrenching Facebook post.
The now-29-year-old woman was rescued with her starving brothers
and sisters from their home in Perris, California, on Jan. 14.
Neighbors and relatives said they were unaware of the children's
treatment until authorities arrested the parents and revealed what
they found inside.
Taha Muntajibuddin attended kindergarten through third grade
with her in Fort Worth, Texas. After learning of the case, he
shared on Facebook his "overwhelming sense of guilt and shame" over
how she was treated.
Muntajibuddin, a pediatrics resident doctor in Houston who
confirmed his post to The Associated Press, described her as "a
frail girl, had pin-straight hair with bangs, and often wore the
same purple outfit."
He wrote that it was jarring to learn that the girl, who was
teased in school for being smelly, was actually because she "quite
literally had to sit in her own waste at home because she was
chained to her bed."
"It is nothing but sobering to know that the person who sat
across from you at the lunch table went home to squalor and filth
while you went home to a warm meal and a bedtime story," he
wrote.
