Have you ever read something so absolutely disturbing, it makes wonder how human beings can ever reach new heights of depravity? I know that is somewhat surprising coming from me as much of what I write is devoted to truly shocking things. Every so often, though, you see something that makes you realize that humanity seems to always find new ways of performing evil.
Check out Danny William Dove, pictured above, a truly despicable man if there ever was one. I, for one, am truly glad he was immediately removed from society.
For nearly four years, a South Carolina man held his wife and two sons captive in a house infested with maggots and human waste, authorities said.Father charged after wife, sons found living in squalor - CNN.com<
The boys slept on a bare mattress as their mother was kept in a drug-induced stupor in a house that was decrepit except for a tidy one-room illegal gambling parlor run by Danny William Dove, police said.
Police found maggots infesting the refrigerator. Human waste and used toilet paper littered the bathroom floor, and the house smelled like a dead animal, according to police photographs and authorities who visited the home after Dove was arrested this week.
There's more to it than that. Both sons are not socialized enough to speak proper English. The only words they can speak clearly are cuss words because that's all they were accustomed to hearing. Suffice it to say, they never had the luxury of interacting with any human beings save their mom and dad.
Who knows what damage this man's performed in these boys' lives. They may quite possibly never adjust as functioning human beings. How will this experience impact their adult lives? I shudder to think of their futures.
