Question of the Day, Fri 5/9

I have been watching this story of the father who kept his daughter in an underground "dungeon" for 24 years and fathered his own (7) grandchildren. I have attached the article from CNN News from yesterday about this sick man. Of course, as I was suspecting, he's already telling investigators, "I must be crazy." In an earlier article, investigators stated that he had 7 locked/coded doors installed so no one could get out of the dungeon. He also had the walls sound-proofed to hide his "2nd family." He's already said that he wanted to free her but knew he would get into trouble with the law if she told . . . which means he knew what he did was wrong and did nothing about it . . . FOR 24 YEARS!

More and more people who are committing unfathomable crimes are pleading insanity. Yes, they may be crazy, but I feel their "chemical imbalance" should not lessen their punishment.

How could family & neighbors NOT know his secret for 24 years? Why wasn't his wife curious as to why he would lock himself underground for days? No one asked questions? What kind of punishment do you give a human being for doing this for 24 years to his own daughter? What would have happened to this dungeoned family if this guy died of health, old age, or a car accident, murder or suicide?

Since this is such an intriguing story to me, I'm sure someone out there must have something to say.

This whole story is just TOO Weird. The Father should be locked up what ever days he has left ! I am sure his wife who lived upstairs had to know something but all you have to do is look at his eyes and he emits CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL!!!!!!!

I read an article yesterday where he said that he had the doors coded so that if anything happen to him they would open after a certain period of time. So of course he knew what he was doing. I think they should put him in a basement dungeon with no lights and lock the door. May God have mercy on his soul.
