| It reminds me of the story of a man who's house is in the path of a flooding river:
The police arrive and advise everyone to evacuate, but this man decides to stay saying, "the Lord will save me!"
As the water starts rising an army truck comes by and offers the man a lift but again he declines as, "the Lord will save me!"
More water, and now a boat approaches the man who has moved up to the second floor... the man chooses to stay, "the Lord will save me!"
Finally as the man takes refuge on the roof, a helicopter hovers overhead and offers him salvation... but no, "the Lord will save me!"
Next we see the man in heaven were he confronts God by saying, "Lord, why didn't save me?" to which God replies, "well... what about the police I sent along, and the truck, the boat and even the helicopter..?"

The story of this young girl's life being wasted by her own parents is tragic but I can't help thinking there is nothing to be gained by imprisoning these people... I would be more concerned that they not have responsibility for any more children.
