Have you heard about....

In Psychology, I learned about Ferrell children!

Basically, being confined and isolated. Some little kids were raised by wild dogs and grew up acting like them. It's amazing how our brain imprints to the "mother".

The the downside of mixing the gene pool is that it often results in various deformities, genetic diseases, etc. So yes, incestuous offspring is more often defective/deformed in some way than not.

Yeah, it's pretty simply concept, really. The trick here is environment. Whatever environment you're raised in is the environment you know to be true. If that girl was raised as a sex object who is to live in the basement, then part of the reason she might not have escaped was because she accepted it as part of a normal life. I mean, it isn't like she had anyone or anything to tell her otherwise. As far as she was concerned, everyone lived like that. The same concept applies to a person raised in any environment. That's why there are different cultures, accepted behaviors, and comprehensions.

I mean really, I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up changing your sleeping pattern a full 12 hours every single month. Because really, the only way you can know what time it is is if you wait for the guy to open the door and rape you, so maybe you can see the daylight for a split second.

But who knows, maybe they had a clock down there. Still, the idea of it is pretty twisted and time plays a bigger emotional role than you might immediately assume.

They had clocks and general household items such as a oven or washing machine. You can adjust your sleeping patterns by more things than sunlight.

Wow he should be torured. As in. They should take plyer's and smush is balls. And then brake all his bones indiviudally. And then boil water and put it on him. Then put him in a ring with viscouis dogs from the pound .

Nature vs. Nurture, where you are raised, or how you are raised?

And about that sleep pattern thing, people do it all the time above the arctic circle. They get 6 months of daylight and 6 months of dark.




Look at how the Earth will rotate for the 24 hours, and in the arctic circle, depending on which side the axis is tilted, you get all day sunlight.

Doesn't really matter. Both are a factor that can be put into one category. What you should rather be asking is what are you born with and what do you aquire after the initial pre-programming (that being the environment and conditions you're raised in).

Humans can adapt to just about anything when it comes to sleep patterns. I mean, even living in a completely dark basement you will develop a sleep pattern of some sort that isn't based on whether it's light or dark. It could be sound (maybe certain sonic events occur at certain times), maybe it's how you feel, or maybe you find some other way to structure your sleeping pattern. It really isn't beyond imagination for anyone to do. It's a natural phenomenon.

That "sleep-pattern" thing is called the circadian cycle. Sort of like an internal biological clock.

Adults run on a 24 hour clock, so they can wake up easier than teenagers in the morning. At the teen age, it's messed up and runs on a 20 hour clock? Can't remember.

Recent studies show that adolescent sleep patterns actually differ from those of adults or kids.

These studies show that during the teen years, the body's circadian rhythm is temporarily reset, telling a person to fall asleep later and wake up later. This change in the circadian rhythm seems to be due to the fact that the brain hormone melatonin is produced later at night for teens than it is for kids and adults. This can make it harder for teens to fall asleep early.

Try sitting in a dark locked room knowing you can't get out for 10 hours, not even knowing what time of day it is, or how much time has passed. You sit there looking at the wall, knowing there is nothing you can do. You can't even sleep, so you just sit there in darkness, thinking about what the world was like before.

Okay, now try doing it for 210,384 hours. And remember, you probably get no showers at all, minimal food to live, and probably never get to take care of yourself(brush your teeth, cut your hair/fingernails/etc). And even if you could, would it REALLY matter? I mean in the end, would it really change anything at that point? You can't really feel any worse.

I didn't think she got arrested though only put in for psychiatric help like her kids.

it had 8 doors. The first 7 were normal locks with different keys, the last 8th door was an electronically locked.

It wasn't a cellar. It was a freaking bunker.

It did have a kitchen and bedroom, and bathroom, with lights etc. But there was never daylight in there. The wife was more than likely beaten by the pervert, so she just had to deny things. Pretend they didn't happen.

[eUph0ria]

She was probably nr1 internet gamer.

[Sue A Side]

I heard about it yeah.
And they even had kids.
Fcked up world.

[Performance]

The reason she didn't "escape" is because if you're raised to think thats normal, you wouldn't go against it would you?
