Rise in case of incest shocking and worrying

Dear Harold,

The increased media reports on incest are worrying. The society is rotten as fathers are taking advantage of their biological daughters or step daughters well below the age of 18 years. I am aware of mothers, even in upmarket areas in Nairobi, who are suffering in silence as their husbands take advantage of their daughters. The mothers prefer not to let the cat out of the bag in fear of societal stigma or they may be kicked out by their hubbies who are the sole bread winners. Can such randy fathers be sent to prison where they belong?
