So she was allowed out? This is just bizarre.

"We'll just pray for him to see the light of Jesus."

And then they'd read 1 Peter 3:1 – "In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives..."

Under parental consent laws, if the father killed the mother and impregnated the daughter, wouldn't she have to get his permission to have an abortion? Oh wait, the daughter probably would've never been able to escape his torture chamber, so the question is moot.

that's all i have to say. any man who does shit like this doesn't deserve the name of man anymore. he better be damn glad i'm not the one she told.

I'm sorry, I can't help myself.

Anyway, here is a snip of the article

SALEM, Mass. - Patrick McMullen's wife and six children said he held them hostage for years in a converted nightclub behind an eight-foot double fence.

With dark cloth covering the windows, he raped his daughters, beat his wife and kept his family so isolated they didn't know how to turn on a shower before they finally fled in May 2001, family members said.

On Friday, McMullen, 41, of Salisbury, was convicted of charges including child rape and indecent assault and sentenced to 40 years to life in prison.

Before the sentencing, McMullen's wife, Christine McMullen, told Essex Superior Court Judge Howard Whitehead of the lasting effects of her husband's abuse. The three boys and three girls were not allowed to venture beyond the fence, even to attend school, and investigators said the family was sometimes locked inside for months.

I bet someone somewhere is taking bets how long this chap survives during his time in stir. I am not much of a gambler but if I were to lay down a few bucks I would bet this person doesn't see his next birthday. And you know what? That would not bother me at all. Though I am still firmly against the death penalty being sanctioned by the government. Strange, huh?
