A terrified little girl was locked in a wardrobe for five years by her own parents so she could be used as a sex slave to satisfy their twisted desires. Lauren Kavanaugh was banned from eating, tortured and raped nightly by her mother and step-father.

In events disturbingly reminiscent of the abuse carried out by Austria's notorious sex fiend Josef Fritzel, Lauren's childhood was spent living captive in a 4ft by 9ft closet from the age of three, separated from her brothers and sisters and the rest of the world.
When she was pulled from the tiny cupboard aged eight, she weighed just 25.6 pounds - the same as the average two-year-old.

The evil paedophiles called Lauren their 'little secret' – only bringing her out to rape and torture her – but were caught when they showed her off to a horrified neighbour who alerted police.
She was rushed to surgery where she was fitted with a colostomy bag, but her organs were shutting down.

Lauren, now a 21-year-old student, is bravely speaking out about her horrifying ordeal so she can help other survivors of sexual abuse.
“One day mum was so sick of me sobbing," she said.
“She grabbed my arm and told me, ‘get into the closet.’
“I was huddled in there for hours under a rail of dresses and shirts. I thought it was a punishment.
“There was no water or food, just darkness.”

Lauren was also tortured and burnt with cigarettes.
While she endured endless days of misery and horror, she could hear her brothers and sisters laughing and playing outsise, who were not abused.
She said: “I was weak from hunger and was tied down so I couldn’t fight back.
“I had to eat anything I could find in the closet.
“I was only let out for torture.
“One day, mum ran me a bath and pushed my head under water.
“When I was six mum put a bowl of macaroni cheese in front of me.
“She told me I could chew it – but then had to spit it out.”

Lauren returned to school and completed her exams.
She now supports other victims of sexual abuse.
“I’ve started studying psychology at college,” she said.
“I plan to go to university next year. My dream is to qualify as a counsellor.
“But I really want to help victims like me to overcome their abuse and be strong. I’ve been in their shoes and came out the other side.”
Her mother Barbara Atkinson and stepfather Kenny Atkinson, from Dallas, Texas, were convicted of abusing Lauren in 2002 and jailed for life.

Sick people. Madness.

By her own parents. . . .?
The will of their 'GOD'!
No chance for survival. . . NO HOPE FOR REDEMPTION!
Some women will do anything for A BLOKOS. . . to have a man to PHOCK, even if it means sacrificing their child or children!
Twa!!!!

Ogbonge 'Christian' life na waya o!
Where the omni-impotent GOD keeps a-slumbering!

No chance for your usual anti-African/Nigerian retorts on this one I see...

wow.....but what was her(mother) motive for acting this way? so many psychos every where.

They must be descendants of the cursed black race. I hope they have been appropriately dealt with?

It is official, you are mentally ill!

Some women don't deserve to be called mothers at all.
The guy and his sick desires was obviously more important to this biitch than her own child.

If only God had a way of making all these kids abusers calling themselves mother barren,the world will be a better place for little one like this poor girl.....

How can you even harm a 3 years old? your child or not? How do people become so evil? a woman for that matter?
