I don't know why I am shocked by stories in the news these days, but this one is appalling. 2 girls raped by their own father, resulting in 19 pregnancies...

How did it continue for so long? The girls had miscarriages and abortions, even to the point that Dr's told them to stop having children by the same father. There must have been some concerns before it came to light in June

I hadnt heard about this until it was on the news earlier... It doesnt bear thinking about.

 

its all very weird,do we know if the girls had normal social lives,had mates etc ?

surely they knew it was wrong if they did get out the house every day ??

 

It isnt that easy, the abusers have so much control over their victims.

 

suppose so,if i try and tell my kids to keep schtum about buyin a 4 pack if there with me i have no chance so just cant comprehend what he was doing being kept a secret

 

A very disturbing thing to happen.

 

I only have an insight because my girlfriend is a probation officer. The control that they have is absolute, its very different to the discipline that youre talking about.

youd imagine there's some backward thinking within the family

 

Well one consolation is that the sick scumbag's life will be made a misery inside, the screws will hate him, the good honest lags will hate him, he'll be in solitary for 23 hours a day for his own safety. You never know, he might have an accident in the showers, slip and break his neck. Sorry, but these sort of people don't deserve to be kept safe in prison, put him in Holloway with the women.......

 

Chances are he will get concilling and support whilst inside - i just hope the same efforts if not more are spent on the girls he abused!

Oh, and i hope he gets ***-raped to death in prison

 

Terrible terrible story hopefully he gets what he deserves for the rest of his days in prison.

 

Theres a reasonable chance he'd do himself in.
I often wonder if people like that should be hung or have their freedoman taken, perhaps both.
