i think i'm generally quite unmoved by the horrific news stories which reach us day after day - not that i'm cold hearted but i accept that sh.it happens, accept that there's generally not much i can do about it and move on. but this case about the guy that imprisoned his daughter in the basement for 24 years, raped her repeatedly and fathered 8 children, 3 of whom were also kept in the cellar just makes my blood run cold. i can't even imagine how that can happen, how anyone could do that do other human beings, especially their own flesh and blood. how anyone could allow a child to grow to 19 years of age without once seeing the light of day. how anyone could construct such a functional and expansive set of rooms in his own basement, in which lived 4 human beings for up to 24 years without anyone knowing!!!!
christ, i feel like crying my heart out for all of them.
