Thanks for providing the link. I'm completely with you re:domestic violence. It's a "gateway" crime for so many of these sociopaths. This case just one more proof both as strong indicator for escalating violence against women and children and the institutional marginalising of its poor and female victims. Relatives say Castro's ex-wife died from medical consequences of his beatings. I suspect the insanity of the baby killing daughter came from his abuse.

There were two articles on Alternet I was reading last night, that brought up many important issues beyond the horrorific crimes themselves and hopefully will provoke local and national examination. One is the police minimalisation of crimes against women, especially poor women. From domestic violence to rape. It seriously brings into question what our taxpayer funded police and feds (the FBI should have been able to find this guy via a computer esp with his history of violence, his daughter's friend disappeared, police calls and property records) are actually lavishing/wasting time and our money doing instead: the Insane War on Drugs, mostly since it's a profit producer from federal rewards, asset seizures and into privatization of prisons.

A backlog of hundreds of thousands and decades of rape kits warehoused across our Country and cases never sent to labs. Labs priority to process drug evidence. Police'll bust in a door when there's a tip of medical marijuana but politely knock and go away at the door of a home where a young woman and baby reported calling for help. There's no money for them in rape or domestic violence or even missing poor children; doorway "privacy" rights enforced in violence against women cases but eagerly bypassed for drug raids on private residences and businesses.

Police priorities have been completely corrupted and redirected from protection to profit by the War on Drugs. Hopefully this discussion will evolve from the police negligence/inattention to this case. And best case scenario perhaps some national recognition
of the low priority police give to crimes against women, people of color and the poor.

All in all, it is a pretty amazing story. And for the kid born in captivity... I wanna see the laws on the books about that one . . . in the meantime they are going with the he kidnapped his own daughter approach. * mill bond . . . surprised some hollywood producer hasn't paid bond for book & movie rights.

The perpetrator has 2 or 3 daughters and is a grandfather.

Time to disown this grandpa.

It's a shame they have to use the miscarriages by beatings to pursue the death penalty. The abductions and rapes should be enough, and enough to put him in the express lane to it.

I'm thinking right now that vise grips, a propane torch, and a pot of strong coffee for the crew would be the preferred method.

How sad. It is tragic that so much of their lives are gone and they will never be the same but I am so thankful that they were found and are now safe.
