not from the family's POV.
He held a 9 year old & 80 year old hostage... whatever progress they made in their bladder control are long gone and replaced by soiled sheets and ridicule at the breakfast table. That's money to replace those sheets, mattresses, comforters, duvets (I have no idea still what that is but I see it at BB&B) & pillows if they're lively sleepers, not to mention laundry costs because you know at some point replacing's gonna get old and it's rinse/reuse/recycle time.
Then factor in therapy because that kid's not going to sleep by himself for at least a year, resulting in loss of sex (there's a legal term for this that I feel googling would be cheating) and strain on the marriage, possibly leading to extramarital affairs, STD's, and counseling for that whole new set of issues. The cost of ramped up home security (firearms, guard dogs that bark bees), general distrust of the public, paranoia, & the aftermath may be so that one turns to drug & alcohol use.
So yeah, the nightmare doesn't exactly end when the dude with that horrible hairdo says "I'm coming out lolz"... dude may have turned 7th Heaven into the (minus the obvious) Jacksons.
...thus, that first life sentence should suffice? Right?
