This is abuse, plain & simple.
Abuse can be defined as verbal or physical, psychological/social/emotional, sexual or financial. Most abusers are highly manipulative people.
All you need to do is contact your nearest police station, or social services office and make an anonymous complaint. You can usually do this online as well anonymously.
Please do something. This poor wee lassie should not be sitting in her own faeces. It's obvious her family are neglecting her, and/or just don't know how to care for her. They are most probably keeping her at home with perhaps good intentions, or more likely, to get her pension money - sad but very common now.
Please, please do something for this girl soon.

The family doesn't want to put her into a health care facility. (I asked my husband if it's money, but no it's not even a money issue they just decided so.) Their church is not stepping up, and we barely know them so it isn't our place to say anything. We don't mind helping her lift and move her at times but the thing is the issue shouldn't even be there. How do you help people who by making bad decisions basically make it impossible to help them? What can we do for them (esp. since we barely know them)? You can't even sit in that living room, otherwise we'd be visiting for daughter's sake. We don't really want to associate since the mom's shown before when someone is kind to her she loses all boundaries and gets very entitled, coming into houses and waking people up and stuff to give her rides several times a day for non urgent small errands (she calls them "emergencies"), so neighbors were forced to draw the line and keep their distance, one by one. I guess I could bake them some cookies still of something sometimes so the daughter can know somebody cares. But that's not solving anything. I don't even really know what I want with this post, I just couldn't get this out of my mind since we've been there this morning. I think that disabled girl deserves better. Please pray and give advice from your experience this is really depressing.
