I've been stuck on watching true story movies..

This was just the worst thing I have ever seen..

The movie is on Netflix call
An American crime.
Sylvia likens

This young 16yr old was left with a care taker, while her parents were working in a carnival.

Long story, but the teenage girl of the caretaker, told Sylvia she was pregnant ( in the 60's)
Sylvia saw the girl being attacked my the married father, so to stop it, she yelled, she's pregnant.

That was the step stone to the whole event..

The girl told her mom, that Sylvia is spreading rumors, and calling her names..
Sylvia was punished with a paddle.

Accusations got worse, and the punishment got severe.

Sylvia was locked in the basement (until she learned her lesson)

She received beyond extreme torture..
She was forced to put a soda bottle up herself,
She was kicked, burned with cigs, scolded with hot water..
The worst part is that the kids brought over their friends to join in on the punishment
The neighbor hood kids joined in on the torture of kicking, burning, throwing her around like a rag doll.
The kids came over every single day to help punish this girl..
Not one single person spoke up..
She was branded on her stomach
I'm a prostitute and proud of it.

Her torture was so extreme, that the movie couldn't get into that much detail, and gruesome acts.
She untimely died from the abuse.

Such a sad story... I had to share it.

Her birth time is unknown

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Likens

Baniszewski, described by The Indianapolis Star as a "haggard, underweight asthmatic"[5] suffering from depression and the stress of several failed marriages, began taking her anger out on the Likens girls, beating them with paddles, after payments from their parents failed to arrive on time.
Soon, Baniszewski focused her abuse on Sylvia, accusing her of stealing candy that she had bought from a grocery store, and humiliating her when she admitted that she once had a boyfriend. Paula Baniszewski, who actually was pregnant at the time, kicked Likens in the genitals and accused her of being pregnant, although medical examination proved that Sylvia was not and could not have been.[6]
Likens was later accused of spreading rumors through Arsenal Technical High School that Stephanie and Paula were prostitutes. That supposedly provoked Stephanie's boyfriend, Coy Hubbard, to physically attack Likens. Mrs. Baniszewski encouraged Hubbard and other neighborhood children to torment Likens, including, among other things, putting cigarettes out on her skin and forcing her to remove her clothes and insert a glass Coca-Cola bottle into her vagina on at least two occasions.[5]
After beating Sylvia to force her to confess to stealing a gym suit from school which Baniszewski would not buy for her (and without which she was unable to attend gym class) Baniszewski kept her out of school and did not allow her to leave the house. When Likens urinated in her bed, she was locked in the cellar and forbidden to use the toilet. Later, she was forced to consume her own feces and urine. Shortly before Sylvia died, Baniszewski began to carve the words "I'm a prostitute and proud of it!" into Sylvia's stomach with a heated needle, although Richard Hobbs finished the carving when Baniszewski was unable to do so. Hobbs, with the help of 10-year old Shirley Baniszewski, also used a heated eye bolt to burn the number "3" into Sylvia's chest.[5]
Likens attempted to escape a few days before her death after overhearing Baniszewski's plan to have her dumped in a wooded area nearby, but was caught by Baniszewski as she reached the front door. As punishment, she was tied in the basement and given only crackers to eat. On October 26, 1965, after multiple beatings, burnings, and scalding baths, Likens died of a brain hemorrhage, shock and malnutrition.[5] She was 16 years old.
When Stephanie Baniszewski and Richard Hobbs realized that Sylvia was not breathing, Stephanie attempted to give Sylvia mouth-to-mouth resuscitation before realizing that it was hopeless and that Sylvia was dead.[7]

I remember reading about this, such a shame.

If you're thinking about rectifying her Natal Chart how about starting with Uranus/8th house (opposite Venus) this could somewhat describe the sexual connotations and unexpected death.
It will also give her a Libra or Scorpio Ascendant.

Chiron in the sign of the Storyteller and a false story sparked the whole thing.

Chiron square the Moon:

creates a crisis over feelings and higher consciousness. In the early years, relationships are very difficult and intense. This position tends to appear in nativities of analysts and astrologers, because the early childhood creates many difficult emotional experiences which are a laboratory for understanding people and their complexes once the native has experienced the Saturn return. The potential with this position is the highest level of awareness about human emotions, and this native may even become an adept at connecting the higher self into the body. This native is usually involved with the occult because the Chirotic awareness factor is so intensified. This position also creates serious perceptual difficulties: these natives are so intense that they have great difficulty learning from outside reality and other people. They will tend to change environments and people so often that they will not develop long-term friendships. Channeling and drugs are very dangerous for these natives, because they will use the drugs to color perceptions about reality, and the channeling will just reflect the opinions they already have about other people and themselves. They need to become more objective about their own perceptions or they will entirely lose their ability to use their experiences with others as material to learn lessons from.

I have no idea how anyone could do something like this but I'm glad that you've spoken of her, if only to remember her.

Thank you.

I was actually very interested in her case a few months back. I didn’t look into her chart though. I checked the transits on the day that she died. It was intense:

October 26, 1965
Mars in Sagittarius (18°)
Saturn in Pisces (10°)
Uranus in Virgo (18°)
Pluto in Virgo (17°)
True/Mean Node in Gemini (4°/6°)
Chiron in Pisces (18°)

And most of the other planets were in Scorpio…

The tNode (and tSaturn) on her Moon, Saturn and Chiron
tMars, tUranus, tPluto and tChiron on her Venus

Astrologically this seems like overkill to me. Considering most of these planets are slow moving, this horrid energy must have been going on throughout her torture.

I think it sort of wrong to look at her chart.
It wasnt Sylvias fault, nore she provoked it.
We should check the charts of all the awful people that tortured her and caused her death, because thats where the sickness and the violence lies.

Transits are just transits, if it wasnt for these horrible people she would be still alive and happy, If we need to examine something it's her torturers charts.

Yes, If as you said when she has Libra AC. , her Nessus will be in 7th House. And for a child , 7thH is "parents" . So it might explain some part of her life.

Poor girl, how she must have suffered! Back then people were more trusting of others, I dont think her parents thought anything would happen with a caretaker for their daughter. Just horrible what happened, have to be more careful with who you trust

This reminds me of what I read of the girl who was the inspiration for Carrie by Stephen King in chapter 28-29 of On Writing by Stephen King (which I ILLed from the library). She was the designated scapegoat (was the 60s IIRC), in part for being so poor. So she worked hard, got some money, but some nicer clothes, and tried to better herself in every way so the school would stop tormenting her. The school was outraged that she tried to better herself and the abuse became intense (naturally adults did nothing) until she committed suicide later that year, and the level of abuse was horrific, or at least it gave me that impression (it's been awhile since I read it).

I also recall reading of a teen girl in either late 60s or early 70s who was ordered to shoot her own dog as punishment for having stayed out past curfew. Instead she shot herself as she wasn't a piece of crap like her parents. The parents weren't charged with anything, which makes me think it was a more barbaric time than many would have us remember it as (for that and many other reasons), and I don't doubt she was tormented in other ways as well.

But ah well, I think this from a fantasy horror series has a lot of truth to it (the message given within it) from Carnival of Fear by J. Robert King:

quote:
"But we used to be citizens ourselves. We used to be neighbors and friends of theirs."

"Yes," the Puppetmaster allowed, his voice growing tight. "But now you are abominations: you are everything the citizens hate about themselves, every weakness and perversion they are afraid to discover within."

Marie scrambled past the swooping creature and withdrew to a corner of the cell. "But why would they create us if we are everything they despise?"

The Puppetmaster halted, staring with something akin to pity in his bulging, scorched eye. "Because they need someone to hate. Someone to kill. Or they would hate and kill each other."


That makes so much sense to me, especially in light of how many who feel some shame make themselves feel better by tormenting others like themselves or similar, and public torture could just be an extreme version of that (but more common than many realize).

Finally, I wanted to add this:
http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/15/opinion/dawes-syria-video/index.html

quote:
A Syrian rebel carves the heart out of a dead man and bites it. His comrades nearby cheer: "God is great."

This is from a video that is circulating on the Internet. The appalling footage has all the world asking: What kind of people could do this?

We tell ourselves these men must be monsters, people utterly unlike us, people we could never understand. But we don't say this because it is true. We say this because it is comforting to think so. The far more frightening possibility we must face is that such evil is not diabolically inhuman or beyond understanding. It is human -- very human.

How can ordinary men commit such horrific acts? The war criminals I have met did not start out by desecrating corpses, torturing villagers or murdering children. They got there slowly. There are some men who are natural monsters, but most monsters are made.

This is how you make them...

Wow, how synchronistic!

Yesterday I was talking with a friend and he stated "I read in the newspaper that a man held a knife to a woman's throat and raped her in the park, police are now looking for him."

It sparked a discussion about people and the crimes the commit, naturally.

I stated that I loved everyone even when they have done such crimes. My friend looked shocked as if I'm a monster myself and said "So you would just let someone go if they did something like that? That's more horrible, how could you even say you love someone that does such things!?!"

I said "It's simple, I love everyone, no matter what because I could just as easily have been born into a situation that sparked such occurrences or been born with a brain that was wired differently than the majority, allowing me to commit such crimes. I have the same capability to be evil.

Although, this does not hinder my judgement of those that commit such crimes. I would still separate them from the majority if need be, in whatever capacity the majority decided upon.

In short, we are all the same."

The one thing that he couldn't answer was "A cannibal decides to eat a human. The cannibal doesn't make the human suffer, it shoots it's victim in the head and the victim didn't even see it coming. The cannibal uses the entirety of it's victim for food, jewelry, etc. etc. Is this wrong because he killed a human and it's only okay to kill species other than your own? Should the cannibal be persecuted?"


Anyway, thumbs up, good post!!

True it's most definitely not her fault.. She was an innocent victim..
But it's still her story, I wanted to give remembrance to the Sylvia that suffered so deeply...
When there is a horrific crime, sadly the suspect is the one that gets remembered.

Her abuse/ordeal/ death should show how show n her chart..
Only it can only be speculations since her time isn't known.

I just wonder y she received such brutal torture..
Her sister was also in the house, she wasn't physically abused. (Mental yes)
After Sylvia passed, her sister is the one that finally spoke up telling the police every thing that happened..

This is a case that everyone went to jail, neighbors, small kids..

I just can't get over how all the neighborhood kids came over every single day, just to kick, burn,throw poor Sylvia around..
It's horrific.
Disgusting..
The young boy I think 12 or so, after he did his time, he became an activist for violence...

The woman was basically a stranger, the dad left the 2 girls in her care on their first meeting.
He paid her $20 a week.

Idk what house this would apply under, maybe step mom, type of house..

This girl was on my mind today... then I thought about some other things in my own life (not really connected to this because this involved psychological, not physical abuse)... then for some reason --- I had this very very strong hunch about the Nodes. It just came to me out of nowhere really.. And I was almost sure that if I click on this thread again and check this girl's Nodes-- she will have them exactly reversed to mine.
But I was wrong. She doesn't.

However, interestingly - she has them exactly conjunct mine.

There is something to the Taurus/Scorpio NN/SN axis. I can't explain it in so many words but its incredibly intense, and can be very positive but also very dark in way that is beyond horrible and beyond creepy.
Obviously many people in the same generation would have these Nodes... But it seems to affect some more than others depending on the rest of the chart, the degrees of the Nodes and the rulers..

But honestly guys - there is just something about this Nodal axis. I really want to get to the bottom of it because it scares me, since I have it myself.

Just saw it also, very sad for this girl and she was so young. Throughout the movie I was wondering why she didn't try to run away when they started doing all those bad things to her?I am guessing she didn't know the difference between what punishment was an flat out cruelty. That awful woman lend her to believe she was a bad child and deserved what she got. This poor girl was this monsters scape goat, as she was known for not being able to face her problems with her own children.

I saw this story on a true crime network, it was featured in a series about women who become killers. It was sickening. I don't understand what causes a group of people to single out one individual to take out all their sadistic impulses on. It's beyond repulsive. And, this isn't the only example. It's the "mob mentality" which I have always despised.

It seems like brainwashing to me. The woman was in control of all the young people. She manipulated them, brainwashing through threats and fear, she was very sick and abusive. If I remember, there was a daughter with a bf that she managed to manipulate the most or, I could be confusing it with another true crime story where the mother talks her daughter's bf into murdering her ex husband or something...

Guess they thought adults knew best back then, but even a couple of neighbor adults didn't express concern either *shrug*

TBH I don't know for certain. It seems like, to me, what happens is, there's a really strong, convincing bully at the center who is very sadistic and abusive. He or she manages to convince others the target is horribly evil and is deserving of despicable treatment. The others, kinda in a daze, like they are hypnotized by this bully, go along with it, believing the person they are abusing is really evil and therefore needs to be punished for it.

This same thing happens in child abuse cases, where the parents are convinced their child is hopelessly bad, a lost cause, and convinces others of it, so they constantly beat the kid, and others go along with it, thinking it's the only way to treat such a terribly behaved child.

Maybe this is the dynamic of abuse, how the cycle gets started so people need to step back, take a deep breath and really think about how irrational what they are thinking and their actions are. This is the point a clear headed person needs to enter their life, call authorities and put an end to it, way before it escalates.

Judging by what I know about this, I would put her moon void in the last degrees of Aquarius, not Pisces.

Could be the case. I remember in the movie when they first put Sylvia in the basement, one of the kids invites others over to see her, and he makes mention of Sylvia being 'dirty' and bad and that his mama said she deserved it. The mentality back then was just so weird

Well, sadly, we see this mentality in existence today. It's not just something confined to one point in history. That's a distancing technique.

Could be a fine line between what is appropriate and what isn't and when the phenomena known as mod mentality takes affect, that line becomes quickly blurred or erased altogether.
