I originally wasn't going to write this up as my bile rises everytime I see or hear the name Danieal Kelly. Not that Kelly was a bad person; she was a 14-year-old kid who had the bad luck to be born with cerebral palsy and a pair of bottom feeders for parents. Danieal is beyond anyone's help now and, apparently, was beneath the concern of anyone who should have given a shit about her while she was alive. She died two years ago, starved to death in a home where her mother oversaw her "care." She died as a city agency, which is charged with protecting people like Danieal, looked the other way and falsified records that she was receiving sufficient family care. Danieal Kelly didn't have to die, but she did, and it should worry everyone who reads about her.
