    Absolutely shocking. BOTH parents had to have had screws loose.

    Apparently he didn't know. Apparently.

    They had three other kids, which is just frightening.

    Been thinking about it on and off since I read it. Some things just unfortunately stick in the mind.

    Your senses and sensory 'soaking up' must never be more acute than when you're a baby and to keep them locked away in sensory deprivation like that is just chilling.

    It's been said a million times before...

    You need a licence to have an animal but not a child.

    I've read (concerning cases over here) of children so neglected they associate the bin and floor with food, or not toilet trained and approaching adolescence, without any social skills etc.....but even they had some form of human interaction and some stimuli, limited and vile though it may have been.

    That kind of thing just makes we want to go home, wake up my kids and give them lots of cuddles and tell them I love them.

    :(

    As much a splenetic AH cliché it is, I'm at the age now where I have friends that are utterly devastated by their inability to have children and to think that they are so little value to other people....

    Bullsh*t.

    I felt guilty for giving my 3 year old cheerios instead of cornflakes this morning.....

    Not to derail the thread, but Cheerios have more fibre and less sugar than Cornflakes, why would you feel guilty about that?
