No one knows how long this would have continued until the woman's secret was revealed by her chosen one.

In February 2023, he accidentally discovered a minor who was in a deplorable state.

The dehydrated, dirty and emaciated girl, at almost three years old, had the developmental status of a 10-month-old.

The child's mother said she hid the pregnancy because of her daughter's father. She claims they had an abusive relationship.

After one of the quarrels, she decided not to tell anyone about the pregnancy, and then she didn’t talk about the birth of the child, and so the situation came to this result.

At the same time, the British woman has other children, whom she has been taking to school and spending her free time with all this time.

The girl faces a long recovery, and her mother was sent to prison, the publication summarizes.
