What on earth drives people to do this?

"WAKEMAN, Ohio — The children — polite and well-dressed — seemed ordinary enough to neighbors, who hired some of them to help bale hay and saw them playing in a yard filled with toys.
But the 11 children — all with conditions ranging from autism to fetal alcohol syndrome — were far from having a normal life, authorities said. Their adoptive parents allegedly forced several of them to sleep in homemade cages about 3 1/2 feet high."
Now, the parents say that they are not guilty of child abuse. How did they conclude that? What child-rearing manual did they read? Seriously, I read frequently about discoveries of children who are kept chained to a pole, or in a basement. What the hell?
