I had read about this when the story broke a few weeks ago. The father had thrown all the furniture, toys, clothes and other things out of the second story child's bedroom. The neighbors thought this was "strange behavior," but did not intervene. Later, the father said that he was removing everything "evil" in the room to "save" his child.

This story is so disturbing on so many levels. It is amazing to me how none of neighbors stepped in, perhaps, saving the child from the abuse.
