Can you imagine the pain and horror that poor girl went through giving birth alone and with this pervert probably delivering it? I shudder just thinking about it. Those squallid living conditions, who knows what she might have had to endure afterwards. As for the wife being too frightened I don't buy that, she could have gone to a neighbour during the night or anytime he was gone out. She's as guilty as him and deserves the same as he gets...death penalty is too easy, let them rot in a hole somewhere the way that girl and her kids did. I think the police messed up big time on this one. And the neighbour who told his wife to mind her own business is partly to blame, had she had his support to check things out those kids might have been freed a long time ago.
I can't see the girl or those kids ever adapting to a normal life and I hope they get the full support they need and deserve. Hard to believe in this day and age that we still let innocent people fall through the cracks........
