I just read this link: http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/young/likens/1.html and I have to say the horrific nature of this movie pales in comparison to the actual events. What Sylvia Likens endured was beyond belief or that of any imagination. I am truly shaken just attempting to comprehend the horrors visited upon that girl. And any attempt at imaging how any human could do that that to a fellow human being is utterly incomprehensible. It's a tragedy of such malicious proportions my mind is incapable of accepting such truths about the vicious intent of human behaviour. I lack the vocabulary to describe these events or the impact they had on me by simply becoming aware of them. But I can tell you this, there is no word in any know language that could accurately describe the absolute horror of Sylvia Likens life and death.
