What are the odds?
http://www.nbc6.net/news/4971998/detail.html

This bothers me no end:

...Citrus County sheriff's Detective Lisa Wall, the case's lead investigator, said the children's belief in God got them through the ordeal because it allowed them to tell the truth about what happened to them.

"Had your children not been taught some of the love of God, we would not be here today," Wall said. "Understand that they did not tell your secrets to hurt you because they love you. They wanted to repair their relationship and their little hearts broke because when they had to tell the truth because they sweared they would."

:puke:

1. Of course, if they HADN'T been brainwashed with godstuff,
they might have been more apt to seek help rather than accept what was happening to them as god's will.

2. That's disturbing....
"Dressed in red jumpsuits and chained at the waist, the Dollars admitted they let the situation get out of hand."

Yeah, pulling out toenails is out of hand.

As for their belief in gawd getting them through this ordeal, that's just laughable since their gawd put them in that situation to begin with.
