What punishment can you give these scum? They've ruined the lives of this girl and her parents, and probably damaged any brothers/sisters she has. Its just mind boggling, what do you do with them?

They'll get life in prison, which given their ages will probably mean life in prison.
You've got to wonder what goes through the minds of people to make them do that kind of thing, though. It's not the kind of thing you do because you're a "bad person", it must take a seriously twisted mind to do something like that.

When I saw this story I really was horrified.
The poor young woman and her two girls will need a truly vast amount of assistance to ever be able to lead normal lives.
The children have had no education at all. She's only had primary school. How will they live?
They will probably need to live in institutions for the remainder of their days...at least it will be more comfortable than a tent in the evil b
ds backyard spiced up with the occasional rape.
I hope the perpetrating couple rot in hell.

Thats the really horrendous part, the 2 scumbags will spend the rest of their days in comfortable accomodation getting 3 meals a day and medical care.....its times like this where I truly hope I am wrong about there being no afterlife.The poor young woman and her two girls will need a truly vast amount of assistance to ever be able to lead normal lives.

They won't ever lead normal lives. They'll be damaged beyond any hope of even a reasonable existance. As strong as people can be there is a limit to how much the human soul can endure. I fear this is almost certainly the case.

Their identities were revealed after police spotted Mr Garrido as he handed out religious literature at the University of California Berkeley campus with the two young children
Now why does that not surprise me.

Absolutely agree with the morality doesn't come from scripture though. It's effectively been proven. There's a book by a scientist called Marc Hauser called "moral minds", it's a bit of a heavy read but it proves this point very effectively without a long drawn out religious debate... And for that there's always Dawkins.

18 years though? Something about this story doesn't sit right with me.
He could have told her anything when she was young and impressionable, for example he'd kill her parents if she talked/escaped or something similar. Then as time went on he could have fed her other lies to make it sound as if they didn't want her any more. The psychological torture can be worse than the physical.p4cks said:

I am of a similar opinion.It may be Stockholm syndrom, it may be something else entirely, but given the nature of her prison I find it very hard to understand how she could not have escaped. It wasn't exactly a Frtitzl-esque dungeon now was it.
One poor girl was kept in a wooden box for years by a weirdo and his wife.

This one-off documentary tells the disturbing true story of a bizarre kidnapping case that took place in America in the late 1970s. In northern California, a sexual sadist abducted a young woman and kept her in a coffin-sized box for seven years, relentlessly abusing and torturing her. But when the case came to court some years later, serious doubts were to emerge as to what had actually taken place.
On 19th May, 1977, Colleen Stan was hitchhiking through Red Bluff in California when she accepted a ride with Cameron Hooker, his wife Janice and their baby daughter. Hooker drove to the outskirts of the town and stopped, allowing his wife and child to leave the car. He then grabbed Colleen and blindfolded her, before fitting her with a homemade contraption that was to become known as the ‘head box’. “The purpose of the head box was to prevent people from hearing you scream,” explains Al Shamblin, a former Red Bluff police chief.
Hooker took his victim to his house, hung her by her wrists in the basement and, after whipping her, left her overnight – bound, gagged and struggling for breath. The next day, Colleen was chained to a homemade torture rack and left all day. “I didn’t understand what was going on,” she recalls. However, her ordeal was only just beginning.

k?After about 2 months there would be no way the guy doing that to me would live for long.
I'd figure out a way to kill him.
