Jeez, I just hope that this child is not lying. In cases like these however, I want to take the stance of guilty until proven innocent.  I listened to her interview with EWN' S Mandy Wiener, and am concerned as there are no emotional breaks or pitches in her speech. It is all done in the same flat tone from beginning to end. Surely recalling some of these horrific and terrifying moments would cause her to break down at some stage, more especially if this has been going on for such a long time?
 He is a large man and able to inflict severe damage to someone this little. Surely someone must have noticed, and if they did, why did they not act before?
Unless, he his so sadistic and is able to inflict just the right amount of torture without leaving any evidence (early James Patterson stuff!).  This would make him a seriously deranged individual and a menace to society and this should have manifested itself before this, in other ways.
As a female and a mother, I am concerned.
