In a few words, Lori basically had the same comments as the rest of her siblings, but she had one story that stuck out. She says that as a child she was stung by a scorpion and should have been taken to a hospital, but instead she was taken to a witch doctor (Walls 12). This doctor cut open her wound, put some sort of mystery substance in it, and chanted words in another language. This, once again, is another example of the safety needs of these children being unprovided (Maslow’s eight stage hierarchy of needs). In another instance, Jeannette was about three and cooking hotdogs with no supervision, and she ended up on fire and being seriously burnt. This time the child was taken to a hospital and left with only a few scars, but Lori believes this situation could have been avoided if a parent was watching
