The story begins 10 years ago when in Tenterden in the United Kingdom a 9-year-old girl was withdrawn from her school due to an alleged inability of the educational center to educate her. Apparently, the girl has a developmental delay and her parents decided to start educating her on their own.

19-year-old girl was held captive for 10 years by her own parents

The problem was the violation of all her rights, since she was found in a state of disturbance and with a behavior strange to that of a young woman her age. The residents of the sector denounced the case when they observed the minor, while some assured that she was an authentic prey of her parents.

The police pointed them out of child neglect, a crime punishable by jail for an adult not ensuring the rights of children or allowing a child to suffer an attack of any kind against their rights.

The issue shook the entire state of Kent. Psychological support organizations and other government agencies came to Tenterden to begin the restoration of their rights. The 19-year-old girl had never seen a doctor and has a problem with her mouth due to dental complications.

The villagers considered their parents normal people, and they never said anything about their daughter. For those who knew the story, they did not ask about the girl because they believed that someone had kidnapped her and others that she was dead.

This combination of stories, theories and assumptions persisted for a decade, until a neighbor discovered the young woman in terrible condition and alerted the authorities of possible mistreatment, but when they discovered the true story, everyone was perplexed.
