Totally...like letting them have all the closeness and attachment that they have evolved to expect. It's amazing how early confidence develops in an attached child.
I can't bring myself to feel anger at these parents. What they did was horrible. But I can't help but think how f*cked up they must be to have a detachment to their child that would allow them to do this. I wonder what was done to them to kill that natural instinct. And now the girl will maybe be put in foster care (let's hope she has some relatives that will care for her) where there's a good chance that she'll be subjected to further abuse. It's too sad for me to get mad at.
