and what kind of sickness makes you rape your own daughter and father her children and keep them in a basement!!!!!

This story is very sad. So is the "hands off" approach most people have with their neighbors these days. Be aware, keep your eyes and ears open, and don't be afraid to stand up for those that cannot do so for themselves.
