FAMILY
BACKGROUND:
Liu Zhi gang and his little
brother both came to our home in 2012. They had been living with
their grandma. Their grandpa had drowned 24 years earlier. The neighbors
said that his mother wasn't mentally normal when she was alive and
his father got so angry with her one day in July of 2011 that he
killed her. He was put in jail and is currently awaiting sentencing.
The grandmother who had been
taking care of the boys obviously had no capability of doing so.
The house was in a terrible mess and extremely filthy. The village
leader told us that she too, wasn't mentally normal; her speech
was somewhat garbled.
We went to this little boy's
school and visited him. He had been so neglected. His ears, hands
and cheeks had suffered terribly from the cold winter months and
his body and clothes were filthy.
