(AP) Sheriff's officials in California say two women accused of chaining up their 8-year-old daughter to prevent her from getting food have claimed the girl weighed only 40 pounds because she went on hunger strikes.
Monterey County authorities included the statements in a search warrant filed in the case against Eraca Dawn Craig and Christian Jessica Deanda.
The Salinas Californian (http://bit.ly/1dAA5J0) reported Friday that Craig told a deputy the girl would also eat until she threw up.
Craig and Deanda are charged with felony false imprisonment and felony child endangerment.

I read the original story that is linked in the link you provided and I am just sick to my stomach. Certain people should not have children and to think these two adopted this girl.

I'm beyond words. Who could treat children this way. And encourage other children to treat a child this way? I'm so disgusted. Thank God CPS got there before that little girl died.
