Today's case is yet another case that will leave you with a pit in your stomach and an utter disbelief seeing what some people are capable of. This monster of a woman took every step possible to ensure that her disabled, helpless daughter would live in the most horrendous, disgusting, vile living conditions possible.
She ignored her cries for help, she lied to everyone who expressed their concerns for her safety, and she tried to hide everything she was doing to her. This all culminated in the most disturbing, tragic end possible. Today, we are going to be discussing the tragic case of Debbie Leach. Debbie Leach was born to Elaine Clark and Thomas Leach.
Debbie was born with Down syndrome or trisomy 21, which is a genetic condition caused by having an extra copy of chromosome 21. In general, the physical attributes of someone with Down syndrome include a flat bridge of their nose, a shorter stature, smaller hands and fingers, and almond-shaped eyes.
The other effects of Down syndrome are intellectual disability, developmental delays, hypermobility, and low muscle tone. They also can suffer from various health problems such as congenital heart defects, vision or hearing loss, ear infections, and sleep apnea. Now, I want to start this video right off the bat saying that in my job working in healthcare,
I work with many different children with Down syndrome and other disabilities. And let me tell you, Down syndrome is very much a spectrum. On one end of the spectrum, I've seen some kids who are nonverbal. They have a lot of difficulty toilet training. They're not very active, so they're very delayed with walking and other milestones.
Some are very much dependent on their caregivers for most, if not all, of their basic needs. On the other end of the spectrum, some people with Down syndrome have no trouble with language or communication. They are active and can walk, run, and play sports. They can use the bathroom on their own and cook their own food and be independent in many, if not all, of their daily activities.
Of course, there is a whole lot of in-between, but I'm just outlining this for you guys, mostly because there is a huge stigma when it comes to disabilities in general. Many people don't understand that even if two people do have Down syndrome, that doesn't mean they have the same exact capabilities.
Everyone with Down syndrome has their own unique interests, likes and dislikes, and physical and mental abilities, just like somebody without Down syndrome. As I stated, I work with people who have disabilities in my healthcare job, so this is a topic I am very passionate about.
It is very important to me that you understand that each and every individual with a disability has vastly different needs, and it truly takes people with the biggest heart and compassion to help care for the people who need a lot more care and attention than the average person. And unfortunately for Debbie, that is not what she got in her life. She didn't get a kind, caring, compassionate mother.
