Inside House of Horrors Where FAT GREEDY Family Filmed Girl Nearly Starving to Death
A 14 year old teenage girl was allegedly locked in her bedroom by her morbidly obese family, who watched her through a camera, and starved for at least two years MailOnline 23 NOV 2025 ![]() A 14 year old teenage girl was allegedly locked in her bedroom and starved for at least two years while her morbidly obese family watched through a webcam. Police say they initially believed the 14 year old was between six and eight years old, and weighed 2.5 stone when they found her at her home in Wisconsin. Officials say she told staff that she hadnt been outside since she was ten or 12 years old, and hospital staff were forced to put her on a feeding tube, due to her severe malnourishment, until she could eat on her own. Four people have been arrested, including her father Walter Goodman, 47, who called the emergency services, on multiple counts of chronic child neglect. His wife Melissa Goodman, 50, her daughter, Savanna LeFever, 29, and LeFevers partner, Kayla Stemler, 27, who all lived at the property with the alleged victim, face the same charges. fficials say the young girl moved in with her father, stepmother and step siblings in 2020 after her mother went to jail. She first met her step mum Melissa in 2019 while living with her grandmother, and hadnt had much contact with her dad growing up. The girl was allegedly given limited access to food, water and bathroom facilities, and kept in a locked bedroom where she was forced to sleep on a bare floor. Prosecutors say the adults of the household either wouldnt allow her to talk or would restrict how much she could say. Her father said that he had set a webcam set up to observe her, due to a history of self harm, and that he attached an alarm to her door. In the document, police say a friend of Walters told them that he heard Walter say If she misbehaves, Im not going to feed her today, and admitted that he kept her locked up in her bedroom with a camera on her, adding Thats where she stays Abuse Goodman has claimed his daughter has autism, giving this as the reason why she didnt eat or sleep, and also claimed that he fed her multiple times a day. But a former teacher said she was not aware of MJG being autistic or on the spectrum, with the staff member describing her as friendly and talkative Pam Medina, a neighbour from across the street, witnessed the moment authorities discovered the girl, and admitted she had no idea that she lived here. She said I remember they carried her out? she looked very small? her head just kind of fell to the side. I didnt even know a child lived there. She said she often saw multiple food deliveries arrive at the house everyday, adding If Id known that, I would have been beating them girls up. Id go all the way in there just to pull her out. Recovery Medical staff diagnosed the teenager with severe malnutrition. She also had signs of multiorgan dysfunction, including acute respiratory failure, cardiac dysfunction, severe acute hepatitis, pancreatitis, coagulopathy, hypothermia, hypoglycemia and electrolyte derangements, according to the document detailing the charges against her family. Officials have stated that the victim is now stable and recovering with other family members. In allegations seen by the Daily Mirror, officials say the young girl moved in with her father, stepmother and step-siblings in 2020 after her mother went to jail. She first met her step mum Melissa in 2019 while living with her grandmother, and hadn't had much contact with her dad growing up. The girl was allegedly given limited access to food, water and bathroom facilities, and kept in a locked bedroom where she was forced to sleep on a bare floor. Prosecutors say the adults of the household either wouldn?t allow her to talk or would restrict how much she could say. Her father said that he had set a webcam set up to observe her, due to a history of self harm, and that he attached an alarm to her door. ![]() L to R Melissa, Walter, Savanna and Kayla are accused of child neglect In a phone call to emergency services on August 21, Walter claimed to officials that shed been throwing up, and that she was autistic which her former teacher has disputed. Tell them that Ill?I have her sitting on my lap in the living room. My porch is broke so Ill grab her and bring her out. Walter told them she was a whore. Officials described the girl as severely underweight and malnourished, adding her collar bone, rib cage, hip, and cheek bones were very prominent,and that she looked to be the size of a 6/8 year old child. ![]() Melissa and Walter Goodman have been charged Text messages in the document reportedly show stepmum Melissa refer to the girl as dummy and stupid. In another message, a family member asks if she can urinate, or just defecate. One message allegedly sent by Savanna said I just want to karate kick her dumb head, while Melissa wrote about wishing her stepdaughter would go away writing Police say Savannas partner Kayla texted the girls stepmum on one occasion, saying she'd used a belt against the teenager, writing Just so you know teenager was taking more than one bite at a time and when Savanna confronted her, she continued to argue with her, so I used the belt ![]() Walter Goodman will return to court in the coming weeks Outagamie County Assistant District Attorney Julie DuQuaine said, She has now since been released from the hospital and is gaining weight and doing better. I was able to observe photographs of her, and she looked like a skeleton. She was just literally skin and bones at 35 pounds. A doctor at the hospital said the girls eyes lit up after learning of the different food available to her, and that she was elated to learn she'd have regular meals. Beyond the physical recovery, she is also working on the basics of self care things many of us do without thinking, like bathing, brushing her teeth, and caring for her hair. These simple tasks were denied to her for so long, and each day she grows more independent as she learns to care for herself All four are set to return to court in the coming weeks. |
