Yes, she can be saved. What you are describing is the normal response of a child to trauma. Normal parenting may not work, so you have to learn from people and therapists with experience dealing with traumatized kids. It will be very hard on you, but all it takes is love and persistence and the decision to make her yours, completely. Many parents do fail if they don't learn how to help kids like her.
