Hetero Every Child Deserves a Mother—Oh, Fucking Hell. Another One?

A French couple who kept their seven-year-old son locked in a dark, cell-like room for years have been arrested for child abuse, officials said on Thursday. The 42-year-old builder and his 35-year-old wife had kept their son hidden from the world, apparently since his infancy, in a shuttered room in their home in the southern French town of Millau."The child had been locked up for several years in a room that contained nothing but a urine-soaked mattress, with no furniture or toys," said the state prosecutor in Millau, Patrick Desjardins.
