In regards to this blog entry, here’s your chance to make a local difference. From the Reno Gazette-Journal:
Contributions to the two Rios children who were imprisoned and starved by their family can be made with the Second Chance Fund at the Bank of America in Carson City.
According to District Attorney Noel Waters, the 17-year-old girl will need expensive dental work.
Their foster mother has said the children are quickly outgrowing their clothes. Gift certificates for clothing and other goods can be made to the Rios children through the Nevada Division of Child and Family services in Carson City.
The Division of Child and Family Services can be reached at 684-4400.
The phone number for the Bank of America in Carson City is 687-7001.
The abusive adults were sentenced to the maximum allowable punishment under the law. Here is the letter (in PDF format) the 17-year-old girl submitted to the judge. It’s a heartbreaker.
