none of you know the whole story behind this so lets not be too quick to make assumptions based on "your" idea of the situation as you imagined it to be.
most mentally ill people can be more then a handfull to control and can be a real danger to you and your family as well as strangers who happen by.
im not saying this situation is excusable but most countries dont have any systems in place to care for "out of control" people with mental illnesses so it is possible that keeping her locked up was the best way to care for her while preventing her from being a danger to herself and others. the fact that the whole family was aware of the situation makes me believe they thought it was the best way to care for her and keep her and those around her safe.
i have witnessed mentally ill people show unprovoked agression and soil themselves and their bedding so often it could explain why they didnt bother to put clothes on her or give her bedding.
i tend to agree with your thoughts so far but untill the whole story is known we shouldnt rush to condemn based only on opinion and very few facts. it didnt say she had been abused in any other way then being locked up so maybe they really did care about her.
