Ame Deal should have been a thriving and happy 23-year-old, and instead, her legacy is one of heartbreak and suffering. Child abuse can take many forms, and the bystander effect may cause us to believe that what happens within another family is ‘not our business’. In reality, it is everyone’s business to call out abuse and contact authorities, whether you are a mandated reporter or not. Ame was treated differently from her siblings by the entrusted adults in her life, culminating in one of the most disturbing instances of child abuse and murder I’ve ever covered.www.crimeatorium.comWritten and researched by:Emma Tranter | True Crime Witch@truecrimewitchMusic:CO.AG Musichttps://www.youtube.com/@co.agmusic1823Sources:http://www.azfamily.com/news/local/School-officials-in-Utah-reported-abuse-of-Ame-Deal-126459473.html https://www.tsmp.com.au/blog/average-height-and-weight-for-10-year-olds-tsmp-medical-blog.html#:~:text=10%20Year%20Old%20Girl%3A%20At,be%20generally%20around%2054.5%20inches. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/az/phoenix/KPHX/date/2011-7-12 https://sufferthelittlechildrenblog.com/2020/04/19/forget-me-not-ame-lynn-deal/ https://casetext.com/case/state-v-allen-122472 https://vocal.media/criminal/the-severe-abuse-of-ame-lynn-deal https://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/death-upheld-for-john-allen-man-convicted-of-killing-ame-deal https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/death-sentence-upheld-in-murder-of-ame-deal-14121822 https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/the-tortured-death-of-ame-deal-and-her-horrid-family-9878749 https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/arizona-chooses-former-federal-judge-to-undertake-independent-review-of-the-death-penalty https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/the-tortured-death-of-ame-deal-and-her-horrid-family-9878749 https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2022/07/28/death-sentence-upheld-sammantha-allen-murder-ame-deal/10178505002/ https://people.com/crime/ame-deal-killers-death-sentence/ https://people.com/crime/arizona-woman-death-sentence-locking-girl-in-box/ https://lawandcrime.com/crime/arizona-supreme-court-upholds-death-sentence-for-woman-who-left-10-year-old-child-to-die-in-locked-plastic-bin/ https://www.maricopacountyattorney.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=81 https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/death-row-killers-girl-10-24463685 https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2020-04-15/conviction-upheld-in-death-of-arizona-girl-locked-in-box https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/valley/john-allen-sentenced-to-death-in-2011-murder-of-ame-deal/75-492465086 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337119/Ame-Deal-Father-sentenced-14-years-prison-abuse-daughter-died-stuffed-footlocker-left-night.html https://www.abc15.com/news/region-phoenix-metro/central-phoenix/ame-deal-update-john-allen-sentenced-to-death-in-2011-death-of-10-year-old https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/arizona-child-murder-sammantha-allen-convicted-murder-ame-deal-suffocation-storage-bin-ice-lolly-popsicle-phoenix-child-abuse-a7881841.html http://www.angelizdsplace.com/child132.htm https://patch.com/arizona/phoenix/murdered-girl-box-first-two-trials-death-ame-deal-set-begin https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/74446612/ame-lynn-deal Donations are appreciated, if you would like to help support the show, use the link below and buy me a burrito and a Diet Pepsi:http://Ko-fi.com/crimeatoriumAll of Crimeatorium's links:https://linktr.ee/CrimeatoriumIf you have a case suggestion, a comment about a case or a business inquiry, leave a voicemail message.
