Girl Lives in Terrible Home – level 2
29-03-2019 07:00
In a Moscow apartment, a 5-year-old girl lived in squalor because of her mother’s neglect. The girl lived in trash, pieces of furniture, and dirt-covered walls.
There was no water and electricity because the mother did not pay the bills. The girl is now in hospital.
When people gave her food, she did not eat. Also, the girl does not know how to sleep in a bed. She is afraid of water, too. Also, the girl does not know how to speak.
Police arrested the mother.
Difficult words: squalor (dirtiness), trash (things which people throw away), neglect (when someone does not do the things he or she needs to do to take care of someone or a place).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
