True Crime with Rachel Shannon
SICK & TWISTED: Morbidly Obese Family Starves & Tortures Child Nearly to Death

For the weeks that follow, there are multiple more text exchanges like this one, where Savannah and Melissa go back and forth about how much they hate MG, how she looks so bad, how they try to feed her, but how she's complaining about how much pain she's in.

her complaining is very frustrating to them so there are a lot of messages where they're talking about how they're beating her until she's quiet and how they're taking away her food still as punishment so even though they can tell that she's getting really bad and she's starting to look so skinny that she can't even go to the doctor because she looks so bad

They still can't help themselves from punishing her by taking her food away from her because they're just that frustrated with her.

By 2.58 a.m., Melissa says she's just acting weird and saying she's going to pass out and shit, to which Savannah replies, of course she is, because I guess that's just what she does.
