reading this kind of stuff makes me feel physically ill.
Not to start a debate, but this is the kind of situation where i believe capital punishment is the correct one for the crime.
The Dollars are accused of forcing the five children to sleep in a closet in the master bedroom with a "wind chime affixed to the door so that the Dollars would know if they tried to get out of the closet," Tierney said.
In addition, they are accused of using a cattle prod or some sort of stun gun to shock the children, securing them to spots in the house with chains, striking their feet with hammers and pulling out the children's toenails with pliers.
"There was evidence of damage or missing toenails of these children," Tierney said. There was no evidence of sexual abuse, she said.
"To look at the photos I saw, it was just extremely unnerving," Tierney said. "They looked like pictures from Auschwitz."
