As a child, David Daniel Manche is the nextdoor neighbor to the Chandlers. When Meg arrives, he instantly develops a crush on her. Aunt Ruth allows the children of the neighborhood to travel freely in and out of her house, offering them beer and cigarettes. Meg quickly becomes a target to Ruth, who belittles her, making suggestions that she is a whore and starves her. One day, David arrives at the house to find Megs cousins tickling her. When Ralphie brushes her left breast, she knocks him to the floor, warning him to back off and runs from the room. Ruth beats Susan for Megs actions, as Megs cousins hold her back. Ruth then takes the ring that Meg wears around her neck, which belonged to her mother.A few days later, Meg stops a policeman, Officer Jennings Kevin Chamberlin and tells him what happened. As punishment, Ruth, her children, and their friends bind Meg in the cellar with her hands tied to the rafters. They play a bizarre game of confession, and when Meg has nothing to confess, she is stripped naked. They blindfold her, gag her and leave her there. That night, the boys sneak back downstairs, giving her water. They agree to loosen her bindings, but only if she lets them touch her. She refuses, but David loosens them anyway. ........
