This woman is truly sick! Glad she will be in a cage of her own.Brenda Sullivan pleaded guilty in January to three counts of aggravated child abuse
The teen weighed 49 pounds when child welfare workers found him in 2005
Two other children the Sullivans adopted testified they were kept in similar cages

I would think there would be a better screening for these people.

That is awful. How in the world can a mother do that to her children? She needs locked in a cage also so she can see how it feels. she has ruined that little boys life. He will never forget what she has done to him and it may mess up his mind as he ages and may become a parent also. She is a very sick woman for sure! Lock her away and throw away the key.

Like people always say "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time". She probably knew what was going to happen.

You know what I was partly hearing the news the other day and they were talking about a teen that weight 49 pounds by the time that I got to the TV they had moven on and I didn't know what it was about. But now I know and i'm really disgusted by this. I can't belive that she would do something like that.

I would also think that someone would be screening this people better then that. What is going on with our adoption agencies. You see this kind of stuff on Law And Order : SVU but you would never think it'd be real... even if most their stories are based on real things.
I can't believe she got away with this, for so long!
