This is terrible, and I think both parents should be held accountable. It sounds more like a case of mental illness, or maybe that is just me hoping a parent couldn't be so sick and twisted. Poor children, fingers crossed that they can make a full "recovery" and lead semi-normal lives in the future.

I can see where you are coming from with that, but who would be the ones to regulate who could have children and who can't? Scary thought...

Has anyone read the book, A Child Called It? It is the first book of a true life story of a boy who was severely abused as a child by his mother. Its a trilogy, and I highly recommend reading them, even if it is a very difficult subject.
