Here's a report from the trial concerned with the children discovered on a Dutch farm last year. This sort of news always makes me wonder how many more of these there are out there--the Fritzl case probably the most horrifying, although it's silly to make such comparisons, e.g. with the Natascha Kampusch case.

Obviously, there are many cases of emotional and physical abuse where no hiding-places are involved, and where outwardly families appear to lead perfectly normal lives.
