The thing that is really sad is that doing this for any period of time is cruel. Babies and toddlers are really clingy and want to feel safe being near a parent or adult. They are still incredibly social and want to soak up all of that human behaviour around them like a sponge. They constantly want stimulation. Food too for their rapidly growing bodies.

Who knows how long it took for this poor baby to die. But it also makes me think of all of those mistreated babies and toddlers who have to go through this regularly but aren't left alone long enough to starve. I doubt this was the first time this girl went through it either.

There's just this extra element of these stories hitting hard when you have kids of your own or see a baby grow up over this stage. They're just these innocent and sweet little things who want to be taken care of. It's not fair that so many don't get a chance to even have that. She fought hard for her life but it just wasn't a fair fight.
