The father and six kids hadn't been allowed out for nine years. If this isn't a cult, it's a huge abduction story.
The 25 year old was amazed at the sight of a pub and told them that daylight was very bad for him, that he was only able to get out that night and that he couldn't go back anymore. Apparently he was astonished that there were still any other people in the world.
I think the idea of going to the police was completely alien to him.
