-- The story of Haleigh Poutre, the 14-year-old girl who, in 2005, was brought by her parents to a Westfield hospital in a vegetative state could not be more crushing. The girl has finally emerged from her coma, defying predictions that she would never reawake. (The Massachusetts Department of Social Services, for one, wanted to shut off her feeding tube.) Police interviewed her from her pediatric unit bed yesterday and have revealed a story of longstanding and brutal domestic abuse. Poutre's adoptive mother, Holli Strickland, was accused of the worst abuse, according to authorities, but her stepfather, Jason Strickland, was not left off the hook.
