Teenage boys found beaten and locked in Cage in Diapers.

If you ask me the Aunt and Uncle should be locked in a Small Cage for 20 years and beaten repeatedly.

The house of horrors for the children, discovered after relatives filed a complaint in May, 2001, shocked Durham police and children's aid officials, who found one of the youths � then 15 � curled up in a makeshift cage fashioned from a baby crib. The cage was strapped to a wall and padlocked in a ramshackle two-storey farmhouse outside of Blackstock, near Port Perry.

A 14-year-old came out of another bedroom, which also contained a cage.

Durham Region police Detective Constable Kate Lang and her partner, Constable Tim Maw, released the 15-year-old and told him he would never have to suffer this treatment again, court was told.

"Really?" the bewildered teen responded.

I can't even begin to know what to say about this.... It's weird, appalling, and just.....I just don't know...

What can I say? There are some sick, screwed up people out there...

The woman claimed both boys were "mentally challenged" and would run away and cause trouble if they were not confined to their cribs

sounds to me the boys weren't the mentally challenged of the bunch.

the uncle's name wasn't Michael Jackson, was it?

Thats Just horrible!!!!

I cant understand how people can get away with this sort of thing ....

Did these kids go to school!

I think you learn something from this...

Always be awear of things around you, in your street ect..
you never know what going on behind closed doors.

most choose to ignore the signs, always thinking someone else will do something about it,

i say you see something odd, do something,
log the happenings for a while that you think is odd,

then when you really think there is a major problem you can report it and have the back up.....

Horrible. I just can't even begin to understand how people could do that...

Who ever did that to those kids should be kneed repeatedly in the stomach. Then hung, drawn, quartered and eaten alive by rats. Send to hell, send them to the firing squad, the chair, the chamber, the gallows or inject them, dont give them life!

I don't know what to say about this It makes me sick to my stomach. Why in God's name would they do something like that

When I first heard about this, it obviously made me sick. For me, this is almost as bad as murder since these poor kids suffered for years under this torture. I don't think any punishment is enough for sickos like this.

They are not human thats why and need to be smited.

It's interesting! Just another display of human psychology, nothing abnormal. It's just a bit deviant from the "norm" of our current society, but no big deal. During slavery black people received similar treatment EVERYWHERE and everyone else took it for granted as being normal. The point is, it's only horrid, evil, and crazy, if your programmed mind tells you it is. That's all! Sure the boys were abused and uncomfortable and coulda died, and I don't agree anyone should ever have to suffer like this. But it's still interesting to see that it was done, I'd just ask the people who did it, why they did so? I don't care about punishing them, just curious as to their intentions.

This is a mild pat on the head compared to what's going to happen to EVERYONE on the planet in a few short years. Starting with Martial Law, and getting MUCH worse from there. So let's not get all appalled just yet, wait till you're in a cage first. Then get upset!

good point. you always have a refreshing way of looking at things

At the preliminary hearing, relatives, including the couple's natural daughter, recounted a sad tale of abuse suffered by the boys, who were biological nephews of the woman, from the time they were adopted at the ages of one and two.

Anybody catch that? They were adopted by the couple!!! This makes it even more sick...that they voluntarily took responsibility for their care, and then did this....

Sick, sick, sick.....

I'll take the programing here. The only way i'd be interested in their motivation is to find a way of preventing it in the future.

You know, you're really starting to scare me. Just for the record...I'll keep my "programming" as long as it calls this "abnormal".

I find your statements a great percent as disconcerting as the article.

The hearing was told the boys attended school during the day, but in the evening were sent back to their cages.

On weekends and holidays, they often were allowed downstairs for a bowl of cereal in the morning and then sent back to their cages, wearing diapers, where they would spend the rest of the day.

It was not a prison, it was more like a work release program.(Not that I think it is right)

Lilblam your brain doesn't work like the norm. I'll keep my programming Thankyouverymuch
Those people at best deserve to be locked up for the rest of their lives.

Just maybe these people were of the same bloodline as Adolf Hitler?

This was a disgusting chapter in humanity, and close to home, I was perplexesed at the indifference from those further away. Does it have to be in your hometown before it's a tragedy?
