Father Imprisoned Son in Box for 2 Years because son was "mentally ill"

[Snoutport]

The look in his eyes is pretty haunting. Don't watch the video if you don't want that look burned into your head for the next couple of hours.

Poor guy.

1. Video says 2 months, not years. Still horrific though.

I'm surprised he was able to walk out after that rather than collapsing. There had to be some damage to his muscles from the confinement.

2. obviously, Canada has its religious loonies too........

I'm sincerely hoping that they don't become ascendant.

God, that poor man.......

3. Canadian Mennonites!! I have Mennonite family...they always seemed so nice!

4. Maybe the Canadian Gov't can provide the father with a small box too.

6. Wouldn't his muscles have atrophied

2 months in a box? I expected him to fall over when he came out.

[Stevenmarc]

11. Yep

This story isn't quite passing the smell test.

13. I certainly hope it's not true

I also think it's weird the news cameras were there, and the police "asked" the father to open the box...

The guy didn't even look like he had greasy hair, either. Doubt he was taking showers in that box.

14. The first thing that I found strange

Were that the police were letting the news crew stick a mike in his face to interview while he was in the box.
