P.S.: Is there any way on earth that man looks 45?
But the years make sense. Daughter, 28 - so he was 17 when she was born, and she was 16 when she had her oldest.

Oh, yeah; because that's how adults who love children, show it. I remember it well.
And you KNOW he didn't just go off his nut in the Grand Canyon. Lord only knows what other damage was done.
FLAGSTAFF, Arizona A 45-year-old grandfather forced his three young grandsons to hike 18 miles (29 kilometers) in triple-digit heat at the Grand Canyon and denied them food and water, authorities said.
Christopher Carlson remained jailed Thursday on six counts of child abuse. The boys, ages 12, 9 and 8, told investigators that they had been hit, pushed, choked, pinched and squeezed during trips on a popular trail at the canyon's South Rim last month.
On the latest hike over the weekend down the Bright Angel Trail, temperatures reached 108 degrees (42 Celsius) at Phantom Ranch along the Colorado River. A ranger spotted the group with binoculars on the trail and saw Carlson shoving the oldest boy and whipping him with a rolled-up T-shirt, authorities said.

Rangers fed and hydrated the boys and they were placed in the care of Child Protective Services. One boy had symptoms of heat stroke, while the other two exhibited signs of heat exhaustion and dehydration.
National Park Service Special Agent Chris Smith testified at a hearing Thursday that Carlson told authorities that the boys had been overweight and that he thought the hike would get them into shape.
"He told me that he loved his grandchildren very much, but at the same time there were tough people in the world and his grandchildren needed to be tough as well," Smith said.
Authorities said Carlson tortured and beat the boys, and instructed them to lie to park rangers about any injuries. Rangers and passers-by noted the alleged abuse by Carlson, according to court documents.
The boys said Carlson also forced their fingers down their throats, making them vomit.
