The Family Next Door (In Missouri)

Life imitates art.
Except this time they were caught...
This is not an exact parallel to the New Neighbor Boy series but it is close in that the girls were made to watch while their brother was sodomized.

Cops: Child-Raping Missouri Family May Have Bodies in Yard
Cpl. Bill Lowe of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said a 26-year-old woman came forward to investigators in mid-August with the allegations.
A probable cause statement released by the Lafayette County prosecutor's office says five other siblings of the woman have accused all five men of abuse, but it's unclear whether all the siblings were claiming to be victims.

Lowe said the woman told investigators that she and her siblings had buried glass jars around the property that were filled with messages "about what was happening to them" when they were younger. The woman said she had "suppressed many of the memories of abuse perpetrated on her" and her siblings, according to the probable cause statement.
Sgt. Collin Stosberg of the Highway Patrol said the adults had told the children to write down their bad memories.

"That was what they were told. Write these memories down, put them in a jar and bury it and the memories would go away," Stosberg said. "It was a way for them to cope."
The woman who came forward also claimed some of the men forced her to have sex with a dog and to watch as her brother was abused.
"She became pregnant and was made to have an abortion at age 11 1/2. She doesn't remember any sexual abuse after that date," the probable cause statement said.
Sheriff Alumbaugh pleaded for the public's help, saying investigators "believe that there are other victims out there" and that the public can provide more information.
So the story although FICTIONAL has a sinister side in thet the victims never see how abused they were and how they are preparing to visit the legacy of abuse to a new generation of victims.
We see that as victims migrate into the world where the perpetrators have no influence or control they realize what was done to them.
We also see that like in the story people die so that the lifestyle might be protected and continued. There are real life parallels to The New Neighbor Boy.
The question is, if you identified with the story, and saw flashes of your own life in it, DO YOU realize the extent of your OWN abuse and how it has affected YOUR outlook on life and how YOU may or may not relate to people?
I open this thread to comments, pro or con... In the DEEP, DARK CELLAR where ALL of one's MONSTERS hide...
