I was working in a mental health ward around Christmastime a year ago. Long story short, it was shower time for . She was a young girl - maybe 13 or 14-years old - with a really intense history of physical abuse. My coworkers got her to the shower and undressed her. She coughed up a great deal of saliva and spat it on the ground, really slowly. Before we can do or say anything, she knelt on all fours, licked it all up, laughed, and said "I'm ready, Daddy."

I was shaken up for weeks after and I still try not to think about it.

There is a happy ending to this story, though. Her scum father is in jail now, and the girl has been adopted.
