Abused three-year-old girl loses fight for life

This story completely sickens me, they first had the story of the abuse and the child being flown to Starship Hospital about a week ago and now sadly she has lost her life. I'm ashamed it happened in my hometown and that every day I pass the house it happened at on the way to school.

Nia Glassie, the Rotorua toddler who allegedly suffered months of abuse, has died at Auckland's Starship Hospital.

The toddler was flown to Starship from Rotorua on July 27 after suffering what is alleged to be months of abuse, which included being hung on a clothesline and spun in a tumble dryer.

Someone who puts a child in a tumble dryer clearly doesn't belong in normal society and shouldn't ever be allowed back into society in my humble opinion. Or at least not for a very long time.

And the saddest part is that the neighbors knew a little about what was going on but didn't want to say anything, so this could have been avoided were it reported.

There are some sick people in this world. Need more public hangings.

The people who did this should die a very horrible and painful death.

A tragic story.

However, can we refrain from turning the thread into one of our traditional "I can think of something much nastier than that" punishment rants which gets locked after seven posts?

Thank you kindly.

What always amazes me with these stories is the amount of people who had some knowledge of the abuse. I mean there are 4 people directly involved according to the story, how is it that not one of them had the decency to do something?

My cynicism of humans continues to be reenforced.
