This concentration camp is in north korea a country that is right now publicly celebrating the launch of a missile. After four successful failures north korea shocked the world with this launch. Nuclear war heads to the west coast of the United States. These images showed people celebrating in north korea. Tonight there are signs that the north korea people not totally in control of the device. But tonight on north korean tv the anchor was so excited. While much of the world is talking about misslles tonight, there is a crime against humanity occurring in that country. A crime that receives little attention. 150,000 people blifr believed to ing terrible things. These prisons house entire families. Grandparents, parents and children. A system called three generations of punishment. Imagine if you were sent to a camp, but to truly punish you, they sent three generations of your family. One of them is called camp 14. He was actually born there. He is believed to be the only person born and raised in the camps that has escaped and lived to tell about it. Did anybody ever explain to you why you were in a camp . No, never. Because i was born there, i just thought those people who carried guns were born to carry guns. Did you know, america existed . Not at all. Did you know, that the world was round . I had no idea if it was round or square. Camp 14 was all that he knew for the first 23 years of his life. Satellite images are the only glimpse that outsiders have had of the place. People live here forced to work in the collection of fac rtorie fields and mines surrounded by the electric fence. Did you ever think of escaping . That never crossed my mind. I thought the society outside of the camp was the same as the inside. Shin told us this is the house where he was born. His mother and father were prisoners, his marriage was arranged by the guards as a reward for hard work. Did they live together . No, you cant live together. They were separated and only when they worked hard could they be together. Did they love each other . I dont know. In my eyes, we were not a family. We were just prisoners. How do you mean . You wear what you are given and you eat and do what you are told to do. There is nothing that the parents can do for you and nothing that the children can do for your parents. This may be a dumb question. But did you know what love was for the first 23 years of your life . I still dont know what that means. Love may have been absent but fear was not. In this building a school of sorts, shin said he watched his teacher beat a little girl to death for hoarding a few pieces of corn. If you escape you would be shot. If you try to escape, you would be shot. Even if you did not report someone who was trying to escape. You would be shot. The shootings took place in camp. Shin considered them a break from the hard labor and constant hunger. They were so hungry they ate rats and insects to survive. For years you were always hungry. Yes, of course. And the guards told us who hunger you will repent. What they were repenting for probably dates back to the korean war. When two of his cohorts defected to the south. That is why he was sent to camp 14 and why he was supposed to live there until he died. The idea is to eliminate this family on the theory that if the grand father was a counter revolutionary, the father and grandsons would be opposed to the regime as well. David hawk was a human rights investigator who. The largest number of people in the camps are those who are the children or grand children of people considered to be wrong doers or wrong thinkers. I have never heard of anything like that. It is unique. Hitler of course tried to exterminate entire families but in the post world war ii world, it is only korea that had this practice. There is no way to verify all of the details of his story. Do you believe them . So sure. It is consistent of the testimony of the other prisoners in every respect. There is physical evidence that he carries with him today. The tip of his finger is missing. He says it is chopped off when he broke a machine in a factory. He says he received wounds here in an underground torture center. He was tortured because his mother and older brother were accused of trying to escape. He was 13 years old at the time. Did they think that you were involved in the escape . Im sure they did. How did they torture you . They hung me by the ankles and tortured me with fire. And from the scars that i have the wounds on my body. I think they couldnt have done more to me. He says he tried to convince them he wasnt part of the escape plot. One day they took him to the field used for executions. When he went to the public execution site i thought that i might be killed. I was brought to the very front. That is where i saw my mother and my brother being dragged out. And that is when i knew that it wasnt me. How did they kill your mother . They hung her. And they shot my brother. He speaks of it still without visible emotion and admits he felt no sadness watching them die. He thought they got what they deserved. He believed the rules of the camp. Blake harden is a veteran correspondent who reported the story. He had no compass by which to judge his behavior. The only compass he had was the rules of the camp. When he was 23 that started to change when he met park. Park was a new prisoner shin says he met while working in camp 14s tex tile fac fri. He had seen the outside world and began to tell shin what life was like on the other side of the fence. I paid most attention to what kind of food he eight outside the camp. What kind of food . Oh, a lot of Different Things broiled chicken, barbecued pig and the thought that even a prisoner like me could eat chicken and pork if i were to escape. I have heard people define pred freedom in many ways. People can eat what they want. It can be the greatest gift from god. You were ready to die just to get a good meal. Yes. He got this chance in january of 2005 when he and park were gathering fire wood in this area of the fence. As the sunset they decided to make a run for it. Shin slipped in the snow, fell on his face and park got to the fence first and thrust his body and was elect tri cuted. How did you get past him . I crawled over his back. You climbed over him . Yeah. He was a fugitive now in north korea on the run in one of the poorest countries in the world. But that is not how it seemed to him. What did the outside world look like . It was like heaven. People were laughing and talking what they wanted. They were wearing what they wanted. It was shocking. I was trying to get away from the camp and i ended up going north. Did you know where china was . Not at all. It just happened that the way i was going was toward the border. With luck and kunning, shin managed to steal and bribe his way across the border and work his way through china where he would have been sent back where he was caught. In shanghai he was granted asylum. In 2006 he arrived in south korea with not a friend in the world. He was so overwhelmed with Culture Shock and post Traumatic Stress he had to be hospitalized. He is 30 you now and has made friends and built a new life for himself. But old demons from camp 14 are never far behind. He admit theres was something he was hiding. Two years ago he confessed. When he told me about the excuse about his mother and brother he didnt say he turned them in. You reported your mother and brother . Yes. What did you hope to get out of reporting them . Well, being full for the first time. More food . Yes, but the biggest reason was i was supposed to report it. Why was shin tortured after ratting out his mother and brother . The guard who he ratted out to, did not tell his pesuperior so the guard was trying to claim credit. Yes. It was only after seeing what life was like that he started to feel guilt about what he had done to his mother and brother. My mother and brother, if i can meet them through a time machine, i would like to go back and apologize. By telling the story, i think i can compensate, repent for what i did. Repentance as taken shin all over the world. He meets with congressmen and is telling the story to us because he is frustrated by the attention the press pays to north koreas new leader and his wife. In south korea he and his friends started a talkshow to tell the world what is going on in the north. As for that taste of freedom he risked his life for. He can eat all of the broiled chicken he wants now. When i eat something good and i laugh with my friends and make some money im excited but that is only mow mentary and right away i worry again. You worry about what now . All of those people in the camps. Children are being born there. And somebody is probably being executed. And you think about that a lot . Yes. So while the world focuses on the north korea missile launch. We focus on the prison camps in north korea. Let us know what you think.

Third victim 15yearold christina is recovering from serious injuries and may need more surgery to fully heal. Police today sky he was acting alone and took his own life on the scene. During this attack he was armed with a semiautomatic rifle. The rifle was stolen. At the time of the attack. He was wearing a load bearing vest not a bulletproof vest that was earlier reported. He was also wearing a hockey style face mask and we have not been able to establish how many shots were fired. We believe he was carrying several fully loaded magazines. A friend of his mother gave the following letter to a local tv station. More now on the search for answers. Yeah, ive seen him there. Neighbors say the 22yearold moved in six months ago renting the basement of this portland house. He just came out, and he didnt wave or anything. He just went out with a guitar case in the car. Two hours later the 911 calls were coming in. Roberts wearing a hockey mask and firing a stolen rifle was making his way through the mall. By that time i hit the floor and ran out. I was telling anyone i saw there is a shooting going on. Police say the only reason he didnt kill more people, his rifle jammed. Officers are still trying to piece together what caused his man to fire into crowds of people before killing himself. At this time we do not understand the motive except to say that there is no apparent relationship between the suspect and the victims. My son did grow up with him and it is shocking. Family members say he showed no warning signs. Except this gun fascination on his facebook page. Friends say he loved his mother. She is very sad and wants everyone to know that she is so sorry at what jake did. It is so out of his character. Kim, when you consider the kind of weapon that he was carrying, if the gun jammed how was he able to kill himself . They dont know how this happened. Because the gun jammed early on in the food court. The suspect then started to run. It is during that process that police say for some reason the gun unjammed. That is when he took his own life. But that gun jamming, anderson, police call that a miracle. We have been hearing a lot of stories of people who helped other people in the midst of this frightening situation. Absolutely. The police say what shows up here for them. The damage is that they want to focus on the people who chipped into help each other. The people stayed calm and helped each other. There were doctors and nurses. They started treating the people on the ground and so that police say, is something that they hope people learn from all of this. I talked to a man who actually went toward a woman who was wounded and ultimately killed and a nurse showed up. I guess that was a nurse that happened to be in the mall as well.

Now a group of researchers are discover iing evidence that some times epi marks may be pass the down through generations. What are they . It is where the rub are bber the road. How the code is transcribed is what it is all about. But consider a sentence. And you pick up in the middle of that randomly and manage the meaning of that, the same is true of the code. Where and how the code is transcribed is how those codes are expressed. There is peer appears to be som that affects tess ttosterone in males to the boys and from dads to daughters. So it is not father to son but father to daughter, mother to son . They are saying in the uterus, there are a lot of changes in levels that we are exposed to. They are saying there is a mechanism that damagings the effects on the female that can be passed from the female from mom to son and in the dads. There has to be something that allows the testosterone that can perhaps go to girls as well. What they are saying is that perhaps moms factors doesnt allow a son to mass cue linize and then that somehow has to do with someones sexual orientation. For me, that is the greatest stretch in this theory. This is based on math more than science right . That is right. And it is something that science is fearful of Going Forward and studying. The fact really is when you study almost any human behavior. There is a component of genetic and environment. It is on science to nail down what those mechanisms are. One of the questions is that if it was pury genetics some Scientists Say it would die out over time. Gay people in large numbers have not been pro creating and therefore passing it down, but if it these epimarks that would explain how it is passed from generation to generation. That is one of the theer yis as to why these elements have not died out over millions of years. They have stayed tudy. The genes dont get passed along. But the epigenetics can get passed along.
