    If he is a two time offender, they should first "cut it off" and then lock him up for good, and throw away the key. Its not meant to be used as a weapon and if he uses it as such it should be surgically removed. An animal like that does not belong on the streets.

    There very few things in life that revolt me as much reading such animal like behaviour of adults, and worse of all against their own children. God, these people should be not only punished but let them have manifold the pain and destruction that they caused to their victimes.

    the scripture says that if a man committs incest he is to be executed by the government-if it is possible to rate one crime as being worse than another-in my mind for both mother and father to be involved appears worse than "normal" not that there should be a normal.both the mother and father should die for what they did leviticus 20:12 its not the daughters fault that they have the parents they have deuteronomy 22:25-27 our societies have become so sick that even in the scriptures this particular type of crime is not named however there are similar crimes that do warrent the death penalty.

    Ben, Under Sharia law he would loose his life but then again we don't know what this family religion is.

    And under Israeli law, he would be eligible for compensation for the trauma of going on trial. Drefuss, it is!

    If found guilty, the father, under Sharia law, should have the offending part surgically removed.

    for items like these to become headlines. Rape and incest cases like this are only headlines in my country when the whole bleeding village was involved.
