Re: Woman locked in cell for 24 years, raped by father and pregnated by him 7 times.
Well it says in the article "He repeatedly raped her and fathered her seven children, three of whom were never allowed outside of the basement, according to police".
So my understanding was some of the kids did get out????
3 of the children were taken and raised by her father (the rapist) and her mother. He lied and told the state and his wife that the 3 children were found on their doorstep and a note from the missing daughter (who he had locked up downstairs) saying she couldn't take care of them so no one thought much of it back then.
The 2 other children, now in their late teens, were left in the cell with their mother and have never been outside. Can you imagine being locked up in 1 room from birth until 18 years of age and your only contact is your mother and 1 other brother in the same situation as you? Mentally they must be in such poor condition.
How the wife of the rapist didn't know her daughter was locked downstairs I don't understand. Her daughter had babies down there and you can't stop them from screaming sometimes, I don't get it.
