RUSSIAN authorities are horrified after they rescued a 12-year-old feral child who had been subject to vile abuse at the hands of her mum, reportedly living locked in a cage and “up to her neck” in squalor.
The girl’s evil mum is also alleged to have sold her daughter to twisted paedos in return for vodka.
The child is said to have been rescued after she escaped from her cage and was found roaming the streets in Chechnya, Russia on all fours by horrified locals.
She’s so malnourished that she looks much younger than 12 – between just five and seven-years-old and was found so caked in filth that a pink plastic necklace she had been wearing had become embedded into sores on her neck.
The girl is currently being treated in hospital for exhaustion.
A hospital source with knowledge of the case told local newspaper Oryol Times: “The mother is an alcoholic.
“This is her eighth child.
“The previous seven were taken away by the guardianship authorities.
“The mother hid this child in every possible way.
“At home – she was kept in a cage, and if she had to go somewhere, carried her a bag on wheels.
“For a bottle of vodka, she sold the girl into sexual slavery.”
They added that the girl “pounces on food,” and curls into a ball in the corner of her room when approached.
The source said: “The sight is not for the faint-hearted.”
Russian cops are currently still investigating the case – but shockingly no charges have been bought against the girl’s mother.
Her dad is thought to have died earlier this year.
Amid claims that the girl may have been “disabled since birth” social services are being quizzed as to why no record of the girl’s healthcare exists.
An ongoing investigation into local child services is also underway with the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin taking the tragic case under his personal control.
The girl’s mum has branded the sexual slavery claims “bulls**t”.
According to a neighbour, the mother locked the girl in the room during the cold weather.
They added: “In summer, she kept her in a small paddock next to the cattle,” – the paddock was also home to various animals, including cows and stray dogs.
A local ombudsman said the girl’s problems were “genetic” and not the result of the way she was raised.
