The girl told detectives who interviewed her at the hospital that her mother puts her in the closet "a lot," that she doesn't get to eat every day and that she "does not want to go back home anymore." The girl also said she gets in trouble "because she keeps peeing on herself" and her mother will "punch her on her back real hard," according to the probable cause statement.

The girl was hospitalized, and is suffering from skin diseases as well as being malnourished. Officials say she has gained just six pounds since 2006, according to hospital records.

One stunned neighbor tell Fox 4 the child was in bad shape when she was carried out of the apartment by authorities.

"She doesn't look like a normal ten-year-old child. Malnourished. Unclean. She just doesn't look like a ten-year old should," neighbor Kimberly Kelly tells Fox 4.

Kelly says there was never any indication something was wrong with the family, and that the other two girls seemed to lead normal, happy lives.
