What the hell is going on in Argentina? A man in Buenos Aires has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for keeping his daughter as a sex slave.

[Eleuterio] Soria’s trial revealed that he began abusing his daughter in 1992, when she was 12 years old. The following year she became pregnant by her father, prompting her mother to leave their home in La Matanza, a working-class Buenos Aires district. The family’s five other siblings eventually left as well.

The daughter, whose name was not released, had a second child by her father in 1997. Unlike Fritzl, Soria used psychological domination rather than physical restraints to keep her in the house. She did flee on various occasions, but would return home after he threatened their two children — often at gunpoint.

She finally escaped for good in 2003 and denounced her father to authorities. Argentine psychologists weren’t surprised that it took her more than a decade to tell authorities.

Of course the media is quick to bring up the similarities to Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who kept is daughter trapped in a cellar for 24 years.

Jesus, how could kids so young turn into such monsters? Two brothers — ages 7 and 9 — kidnapped a toddler and tortured her to death.

Lttle Milagros, 2, disappeared from her shanty home in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Sunday and her family later found her body in a vacant lot 10 blocks away.

She had been stripped naked, beaten and strangled with telephone cord that was left around her neck. The discovery prompted neighbours to attack an adult suspected of the crime - until the two boys confessed.

It was revealed today the pair took sick delight in torturing their victim.
