Daughter shut away for three decades in bathroom, WTF???

This is truly a weird story:

A 73-YEAR-OLD woman is being investigated for “kidnapping and maltreating a family member” after allegedly keeping her mentally disturbed daughter locked in a darkened bathroom for 30 years.

Police said that Annina Gentilezza had kept her daughter, Giuseppina, now 52, a prisoner in the top-floor council flat at Pescara, on the Adriatic coast. They raided the flat after being tipped off by Signora Gentilezza’s daughter-in-law.

They found Giuseppina curled in a ball in a tiled room measuring 7ft x 9ft containing a lavatory, bidet, sink and washing machine. Wires hung from the ceiling where the light had been disconnected. The room contained a camp bed and plastic dog bowls in which Giuseppina was allegedly fed leftovers.

Police said that instead of being washed Giuseppina was “hosed down” on the balcony. Nicola Zupo, the officer who led the raid, said that Giuseppina was sometimes left out on the balcony as a punishment, especially in the winter, and beaten. She was allowed out once a month with her mother and stepfather, but only to collect her invalidity pension.

Psychiatrists at a local hospital where Giuseppina has been taken said that she was beginning to talk. “She doesn’t want to go back home,” a hospital spokesman said.

Giuseppe De Felice, Signora Gentilezza’s second husband and the father of her two sons, who is also under investigation, denied the allegations: “Those bowls really are for the dog. We never hurt her, she sleeps in her own room, she eats with us and watches television with her mother in the evening.”

You know, this is a terrible story and all but what's your point? Do you have an analytical perspective to share here or is it just an FYI?

I, for one, would appreciate if you'd spend your time answering questions that you've been directly asked in the course of other threads.

So, what, in your opinion is the "cause" of Radical Islam?

Maybe his point was to see our views on it?

And what is wrong with "radical Islam"?

A lot off psychos even.
Remind me off a couple here in Sweden, they adopted mentally (and just normal) handicapped children and then let them live inside off cages. And they where located in a secret room.
The couple just wanted to cash in the (err whats it called again) the childrens money the state sends them each month so they didn't have to work.
The sad part off it all is that the children has been returned to them once again now after the trial. I think the couple "only" got to pay an amount off money..

I got a mentally retarded guy in my town.

When he was a kid, his parents who didn't acknowledge him for his handicapped state, let the guy fight with the dogs in order to be able to eat everyday. Such things is just.....

that last part would have been impossible since she was locked in the bathroom.. ergo she never was in the living room and if she was there it wasn't long enough.

but what can i say about this.... yes it is sick but it isn't really something that is discussable
