Aunt on the father: "He did things that made me feel uncomfortable," she said. "If I were to get in the shower, he would come in there while I was in there and watch me, and it was like a joke. He never touched me or anything."

Eeeewwwwwwwwwww! I'm sure a lot will come out later. The children were so isolated that they don't know what's wrong (taboo) or right in the typical sense. However, I don't feel so hopeless in terms of their transition or prognosis. I really believe that with support, counseling and training that the children will become productive members of society and can certainly lead happy lives. Hopefully there are no attachment issues. I will keep thinking positive thoughts and praying for them.
Although the escape and call to 911 showed courage, good sense of right and wrong and an attachment to siblings. Kudos to that young woman.
