I'm sure some of you have already heard about this before but how could nobody have found out until now? If I was imprisoned would I just take it and not try to free myself? Did she? We see movies/stories of people like Hannibal Lecter but honestly this man is far worse imo. I doubt the mother had no knowledge of what was going on, especially since she seemed so carefree as to the story of her daughter venturing off to join some "cult."
I too disagree in capital punishment but if I was the daughter I would've went on an Oldboy-esque rampage if my own father did that to me. This isn't really shocking seeing as what humans have done to each other for millennia. I feel vile and sickened just reading this story.
I don't really see anything wrong with vigilantism, however, provided the vigilante surrenders to the state afterward and accepts responsibility and punishment for his actions.
This is most certainly a man who should be kept locked away from society for the rest of his life. I can't even imagine how fucked up a kid would be growing up locked in a cellar.
