Girl buried alive thanks God for rescue
Posted on May 24th, 2005 by Anthony K. Valley
An 8-year-old girl who police say was raped and left for dead in a landfill asked for a pastor “so she could thank God” shortly after her rescue from beneath a pile of stones, her godmother said Monday.
Police said the girl also identified her attacker even before she was removed Sunday from a trash bin at the abandoned South Florida landfill.
“She stated that she wanted a pastor to pray with her so she could thank God for saving her life,” Lisa Taylor, the godmother, told CNN. “She’s 8 years old. Isn’t that the most beautiful thing you’ve ever heard?”
The girl was being treated Monday at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach.
Police say she was raped by a teen staying at Taylor’s home and then crammed into a recycling bin and covered with rocks and stones.
“She was left for dead,” said Lake Worth Police spokesman Dan Boland.
Taylor said the girl is resting in good condition and able to converse. The girl’s body is swollen, and she is on a liquid diet.
“She’s swollen everywhere,” Taylor said. “I don’t know if it was from laying the same way for so many hours or if it was the weight of the stones that he put on her.”
