1. Ariel Castro also has a son, Anthony, that went to college for a journalism degree.

So, I think it would be unfair to stereotype all the kids.

4. Unless he works at Faux Newz. nt

5. The editorial he wrote about the disappearances as a student will be

either the most heartbreaking or disturbing thing written, depending on whether or not he actually knew something...

15. Yeah, that is very weird. - eom

6. His son may not have experienced abuse from his father. Not saying his daughter did either

but the thought has occurred to people considering what has just been revealed.

2. Does anyone else think she looks like she has fetal alcohol syndrome?

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. No, she looks like she has an epicanthic fold

in a Caucasian, epicanthic folds are a sign of fetal alcohol syndrome; she's not Caucasian. (Puerto Rican heritage, which means, probably, of mixed Taino/African/Spanish colonial ancestry). Her father has the same feature; consdering the family background it's a sign of Native American ancestry.

3. Maybe the baby she attempted to kill was her father's ?

[Xithras]

10. Same thought went through my head.

Her dad and uncles seemed to have a thing for raping teenagers. What are the odds that she made it through her teen years without the same thing happening to her?

Reading the story, she seems to be a genuine mental case. I think we can all understand how she got that way. I'm not saying that she should be let off the hook for trying to kill her kid, but damn...

[Myrina]

14. Gawd, how horribly sad ...

The whole thing is beyond farked up.

... for all the innocents involved.

[wickerwoman]

13. Or her brother's.

She tried to kill herself at the same time as the baby.

7. I wonder if that is the same girl who was Gina DeJesus's best friend.

http://www.19actionnews.com/story/22180697/dejesus-family-gina-knew-suspected-kidnapper-ariel-castro

According to 19 Action News Reporter Lydia Esparra, Gina DeJesus knew the man suspected of kidnapping her and holding her captive for nearly 10 years.

Family members tell Esparra that Ariel Castro was a relative of DeJesus' best friend, possibly her father.

He's also been to at least two vigils for the missing girls.

8. That seems to be "Arlene" Castro.

11. Ok thanks! I see she is his daughter too. n/t

9. Im not surprised at all.

Im also not going to be surprised when more family members will be indicted. I find it hard to believe only the 3 brothers knew of the three women and the child living in the house. Obviously close family knew, they just lie so they wont get in trouble, IMO.
