I knew someone from an FLDS family.

(For those who don't know, FLDS is a fundamentalist branch of the Mormons that are basically an insanely oppressive and abusive cult. They still do polygamy!)

She's extremely mentally ill and I am not friends with her anymore, but this is about her now deceased brother:

When he was about 2, he fell, head first, onto a rusty nail. Mom decided the medical solution to this was neosporin and a bandaid.

It went about a bit less than an inch into his brain.

He grew up extremely unable to regulate emotions, did violent dangerous things all the time, unfortunately killed himself a year back.

Point of me saying this is: Shit like this absolutely happens.

I feel like a whole lot of people who end up on 4chan are quite likely to be seriously neglected and abused.

I can very easily see a person with serious damage like this not being taken seriously and even assaulted by their parents for mentioning it.

They likely can't get to a hospital on their own, and would be screamed at more if parents found out they went.

So, post on 4chan.
