This story was about some of the most horrifying abuse of children that I have ever heard about. The father was a "charmer" to outsiders and raised his family like it was a cult. The people who got involved with this family all lived to regret it (or sometimes didn't live). The courage and strength it took one of the daughters in this "house of horrors" to finally come forward was immense. This is a story about how a few dedicated public servants can make all the difference. The efforts of the child advocates and dedicated law enforcement personal ultimately ended the reign of the scariest parents I have ever read about (Sybil included).
