Another "Nightmare on Elm Street" example of the depravities of the human mind !
Here is this Phillip Garrido abducting an 11 year old 18 years ago..fathering 2 children with her , the first one when she was age 13 !! And keeping them all in his backyard in a handbuilt shack complete with a homebuilt outhouse on property in the middle of Antioch , Ca ! No one intervened eventhough neighbors knew what was there and that people and kids living in all that squalor. It was never reported.
And then this Garrido is a registered sex offender on another beef that he did time for , it turns out, complete with parole officers visiting the premises and never having a clue as to what was in the backyard. And then you have this guy being a born again Christian, a wack job, with far out " I speak to God boxes " that he built in his garage ( which must be in the backyard with his sequestered family complete with outhouse )...to say nothing of the Stockholm syndrome mental disorder of the victim, whereby she never tried to escape as far as anyone knows yet.
And not only that, he is caught on the campus of U.C. Berkley passing out some kind of God speaks to me , Christian based I am forming my own church pamphlets and sermons delivered therin... complete with his ' kids ' and 'wife' of 18 years ! The system finally worked when Campus police got suspicious in the way he was hiding and protecting and acting around the children and the female victim.
The potential for Human depravity is alive and well , and it is fortunate that such things are rare as in the original subject of this post.
What would Jesus think,,Indeed !!
