I am truly and utterly disgusted by this. There is absolutely no way to excuse acts so vile to small children, and doing it on a religious basis (and finding it okay) is despicable. If I believed in a place such as hell, I would find it suiting you wind up there.

They haven't been found guilty/not guilty yet.
The mother seems fundie too, if it's true.

I know it is unenforcable and probably a violation of a individual freedoms, but parents should be banned from teaching their children religion, or interacting with them for any religious reasons until the children are 12 or something.
Seriously, nothing fucks up children more than religion (especially religiously inspired abuse).

I always thought it was evolution that caused these things.

This sort of abuse happens in all dysfunctional families and the mother looking away is all too common unfortunately, or even alleging a child is lying when they confide about the (sexual) abuse.
Now if you take that fucked-up ness and season with religious fundamentalism and a dislike for psychotropic medicine, you've got people drowning their kids for Jesus, chopping off limbs or this fixation with the mouth.

As horrible as it is, I suspect that if it weren't for fundamentalism, the father would have found some other excuse.

People like this (the father) should not have children, and I would approve if this man was to be castrated.
The mother is not without blame either. It's not clear from the article whether or not she approved of this abuse, or merely tolerated it because she was scared shitless the bastard would do something horrible to her too, but she still should have called in the authorities.
There is just no excuse for abuse.

"she was scared shitless the bastard would do something horrible to her too"
Call me a crazy bitch but I'm one of those moms that would happily sacrifice her wellbeing to make sure my child was out of harms way.
"Sure my kids are in agonizing pain and mental anguish but at least I'm unharmed!!" The best submissive wife any deranged mofo could ask for.

That makes me sick to my stomach.
The problems is, where will the kids go now? They hopefully will be removed from the parent's home, but where will they go? Family members are most likely just as disturbed as the parents and State Care is not necessary a positive experience either.
This is how abusers and nut-jobs are raised!
It's sickening that the once who proclaime to love the most are the most deranged and evil!

I would normally think that this was the result of a serious mental disorder.
However, as this was not mentioned - and they were found guilty - then I imagine that this was not considered to be the case by psychiatrists (who would certainly have been involved). I guess they are just fucking evil.
I'm not into schadenfreude, but they certainly won't have a very nice time in a UK prison - I imagine it's the same in the States. Stick to the snake handling, you utter cunts.

What the hell?! What lunatics. I hope they get put in a foster home or something, so they aren't raised by a woman who watched this happen and did nothing.

I think that somebody posted it before. However, it still amazes me. I find terrible that:
a)he lies(nowhere in the Bible says that Jesus did such a thing)
b)That he misread some verse in which Jesus, as a way of METAPHORICAL example said: "if your tongue makes you sin, cut off your tongue"(confirming, again, the literacy skills of fundies)
c)that even if it were true, why didn't he do it himself?, or be a celibate like Jesus was and spare his kids of all that suffering(and that is patently verified)?.
Again, when somebody tries to justify his sadism with religion, he both disservice religion and is a total ASSHOLE.

Poisoned Rationality
Niobe: I'm with you on this one. Someone wants to hurt my child, they have to go through me first. And if I take the abuse so she doesn't have to, so be it (though they'd only do it once in either case).

Why have I not heard this one before?
