Too bad. 15 good years
ReplyDeleteI've seen this kind of thing first hand. When I was in primary school, a couple locked up their children and didn't feed them for years until they were miraculously rescued.i think the woman was the step mom.
DeleteFor 15 years????? Even 6months shouldn’t be possible. Where was his other family members and friends? Where did they think he’s been for 15 years???? Also, why withhold the names of the suspects and expose that of the victim?
