more children discovered hidden from the world in a dungeon, by their father.

how can there possibly be more than one case of this happening? how many more are there? it's beyond weird or cruel - it's beyond...... anything. totally inexplicable.

I've heard of families that even in the first half of the 20th century sometimes kept their children in pens like animals, outside the home. And there wasn't even anything wrong with some of them (at least not at first...)And that's interesting to me about how he felt that because the kids were abnormal, that it said something about HIM (as opposed to his locking them away in a dungeon saying something about him). This could help explain why parents who are tolerant to other people with problems or being different go ballistic when it's one of their own children that's like that. And there was one mother who admitted that when she learned her son was gay, she was furious because she thought this said something about her that she'd birth & raise a gay child and was worried more about her own embarrassment than his own hardships. At least she did come to terms with it finally, rather than kicking him out or locking him up in some dungeon.
I still find it incredibly inexplicable (and beyond cruel) when things like this happen though.
