People so ‘extremely obese’ they were almost bedridden starved 14-year-old girl until she weighed 35 pounds, police say
Wisconsin prosecutors have charged four people, two of whom they described as “extremely obese,” with allegedly starving and neglecting a 14-year-old girl until she weighed only 35 pounds.
Forty-seven-year-old Walter Goodman lived with his wife, his stepdaughter, and her female partner in a home in Oneida in Outagamie County that one court official described as a “house of horrors.”
‘These allegations before the court today are incredibly disturbing. And it’s alleged that the minor child was quite frankly living in a house of horrors.’
Goodman called emergency services in August to report that his daughter had been sick.
A dispatcher described the call as, “Fourteen-year-old child who does not eat much has been sick, vomiting, and lethargic. Now unresponsive.”
First responders said the teenager appeared to be the “size of a 6- to 8-year-old,” according to the criminal complaint.
“She was very, very close to death. Again, 35 pounds at 14 years old,” said Assistant District Attorney Julie DuQuaine of Outagamie County in court.
The girl was airlifted to Children’s Wisconsin in Wauwatosa, where doctors treated her for extreme malnutrition.
“This is the most egregious case of child neglect I think I have ever personally seen in my nearly 25-year career,” DuQuaine said.
Investigators said that the teenager had lived with her father since 2020 but had never gone to school or seen a doctor. Goodman said that she had lived with her biological mother until the mother was sent to jail and he got full custody. He also claimed that the teen had an eating disorder.
“She don’t eat. She’s autistic,” he is quoted as saying.
However, texts obtained by police showed that the people in the home referred to her as “dummy” and “stupid” when communicating about her eating schedule.
“We gave her a (expletive) shake last night bc I felt bad and of course she was laying nice and quiet to get what she wanted,” texted 29-year-old Savanna Lefever, Goodman’s stepdaughter.
“Yes, she’s a manipulative. That’s how she works,” responded Melissa Goodman.
The criminal complaint described Lefever and Melissa Goodman as being “extremely obese to the point of being nearly bed-bound and rarely left the residence.” Lefever’s 27-year-old partner Kayla Stemler is the only person who left the home to go to work.
“But for the grace of God, she did not die,” said Outagamie County Court Commissioner Brian Figgy.
“Quite frankly, these allegations before the court today are incredibly disturbing. And it’s alleged that the minor child was quite frankly living in a house of horrors,” he added.
All four of the adults face five counts of chronic child neglect.

Cam Newton gets black fatigue after Grambling brawl — calls out black players and coaches
A massive brawl broke out at halftime between the players of Grambling State and Bethune-Cookman this past weekend — which resulted in over two dozen players being suspended.
Grambling State and Bethune-Cookman are both historically black colleges and universities that ex-NFL star Cam Newton explained on “4th&1 Podcast with Cam Newton” are now “set back” by the students’ and the coaches’ actions.
“We are already at a deficit with visibility, and we literally just had a civil war over a football game. What?” Newton began.
“No matter if you in the MEAC, the SWAC, the SIAC, the OVC, if you’re a representation of blackness and black culture, you should look at this and say to yourself, ‘This set us back,’” he continued.
Immediately following the brawl, Grambling State head coach Mickey Joseph said the school wasn’t going to tolerate “disrespect,” and the school is “going to meet disrespect with disrespect.” While he later apologized, Newton still wasn’t having it.
“It set us back. Just imagine if you had College Game Day and a melee broke out in halftime versus LSU in Alabama. Certain things just will not happen,” he said.
“I don’t care what somebody else did. It’s what you did in retaliation to that,” he added.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes Newton’s response is real “progress.”
“One of the things I have to acknowledge about all of these athletes moving into the media space, they’re now acting or moving towards acting like media members. And that means they find themselves having to criticize people who allegedly look like them or share their skin color,” Whitlock says.
“And so when it was just us journalists out here doing it, if you were white and you called out Mickey Joseph and this foolishness, oh, you’re being racist. If you were black, you’re an Uncle Tom and a coon, and the athletes used to feel this way and say these types of things,” he continues.
“Now that they’re in the media … they’re looking out like, ‘Hold on, man, there are people that allegedly look like me or share my skin complexion who are doing foolish things that have to be called out,’” he says, adding, “Hats off to Cam Newton for calling it out.”

Allie Beth Stuckey responds to Candace Owens’ podcast call-out
Since the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, conservative firebrand Candace Owens has been commenting on numerous conspiracy theories surrounding Kirk’s death. She has made it clear that she believes the FBI’s current narrative — that Kirk was allegedly killed by lone gunman and radical leftist Tyler Robinson — isn’t the truth.
Owens, a vocal Israel critic, speculates that Kirk’s assassination was a targeted political hit involving TPUSA insiders, military contractors, and various “Zionist” influences and that Robinson is merely the fall guy in a calculated scheme.
While some have cheered on Owens as a truth-seeker, many have criticized her as recklessly divisive and harmful to Kirk’s grieving friends and family, while she offers little evidence. These include BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey, who has defended TPUSA against Owens’ allegations.
Stuckey’s initial criticism avoided naming Owens and instead focused on debunking claims about TPUSA’s role — specifically that the last-minute booking of the Utah Valley University event points to internal foul play.
In an X thread from November 6, Stuckey shared her experience scheduling TPUSA events with Charlie.
In addition, she posted a series of Instagram stories (now expired) urging her audience not to “outsource critical thinking” to other people. Without naming Owens, Stuckey said, “If you are implicating a real person in a murder plot, you better be 100% sure that it is true and backed by hard evidence.”
Owens, on the November 11 episode of her podcast “Candace,” played these Instagram reels and addressed Allie directly: “It was Charlie’s real life, Allie. That was Charlie’s real life when you saw him sitting there and he got shot. … I feel like that’s the part you’re missing because you’re so worried about the surrounding cast of characters who have been literally caught lying.”
She went on to accuse Stuckey of not genuinely caring about justice for Charlie: “He’s not here any more. Maybe you’re not worried about him, but I am. I’m actually worried, and I want to know what happened to Charlie Kirk.”
On yesterday’s episode of “Relatable,” Allie responded to Candace directly. With grace, tact, and biblical clarity, she offered a measured rebuke rooted in Scripture.
“[It was] my friend too who was shot in the neck, whom you have seen me talk about and reference several times over the past few weeks and just, you know, what that mentorship meant to me,” says Stuckey, adding that it “makes [her] sad.”
“I’ve thought really hard, like how do I respond in a way that is actually edifying, that lifts you up and doesn’t just tear down and get down in the mud? … There’s a part of me that does just want to go tit for tat … but I just know that that will lead to a never-ending back-and-forth,” she adds.
Stuckey admits that she “can’t compete” with Owens’ claims to have “secret sources” in the government and in TPUSA, nor can she claim that Charlie visited her in a dream, as Owens purports.
“I don’t have any special insight at all. … If I were to reveal all of the texts to each other [Kirk and Allie] that we have over the years, you wouldn’t find anything juicy — no gossip, no hidden clues, no secret signals. So I just won’t go there,” she says.
“So I’m instead going to do three things: I am going to give us direction from Scripture on what godly truth-seeking looks like, and I’m going to analyze the weight of our words, and then I just want to share the arrows with a few of my friends.”
Biblical truth-seeking
“Christians are called to sift. We are called to discern. We are called to weigh what is being said — both how it’s being said and the content of what is being said — against objective truth, against logical truth, and most importantly against biblical truth,” says Stuckey.
She points to the Bereans in Acts 17 — Jewish believers who were praised as “more noble” because they eagerly received Paul’s teaching but examined the Scriptures daily to verify if his words were true — as the biblical model for truth-seeking. “They didn’t just listen to Paul and Silas. … They examined the word of God to see if what they were saying matched,” she says, urging listeners to do the same.
When filtering ideas through the lenses of objectivity and logic, Stuckey suggests asking questions such as, “Is there evidence?” “Who is the source?” “What is the other potential side of this argument?” “What are the other possible conclusions that one could draw?” And “Is someone being falsely accused?” It is critical, she argues, to gather as much evidence as possible before drawing conclusions.
“Investigation and truth-seeking are really important, but there is a difference between investigation and truth-seeking versus salacious, innuendo-driven drip campaign,” she warns.
‘Words matter’
Words, says Stuckey, don’t just have earthly implications; they also have eternal ones. She points to Jesus’ words in Matthew 12:36 — “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak” — as well as Solomon’s in Proverbs 18:21: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
“Words are really important to Christianity. They’re really important to God. We read over and over again, whether it’s in these passages or the book of James, how much our tongue can do in creating real-life impact and how much our words matter,” she says, advising against “[stirring] up suspicion” and “[pointing] fingers.”
From the commandment in Exodus not to bear false witness against our neighbor to Ephesians’ edict to “let no corrupting talk” come from our mouths, the Bible is clear that our words, especially when aimed at other people, deeply matter to God.
Stuckey acknowledges that her response to Owens will inevitably result in “a fresh set of arrows” for her too, but she refuses to fan the flames of conspiracy theory while hard evidence is sparse.
“I think that we have to trust that those closest to Charlie — that Erika, that those in his life who loved him way more than we ever did, who knew him way better than we ever did — that they want truth more than anyone, that they want justice more than anyone, and that they are asking the right questions,” she says.
Despite Owens’ accusation, this stance is “not a lack of caring” for Charlie or truth, she says.
“It is trusting the Lord, but also trusting the people who knew Charlie and loved him.”
