– Mother kept girls locked away from the world for seven years – The Times – I hope there is some kind of special hell for this woman.
Three girls who were imprisoned by their mother in a house of indescribable filth for seven years may never recover from the ordeal, experts said last night.
The girls were shut away from the outside world, existing in almost complete darkness, playing only with mice and communicating in their own language.
The case has stunned Austria, still reeling from the Natascha Kampusch kidnapping, and the authorities were struggling last night to explain how such a horror story could have gone unnoticed.
Maybe there’s something in the water in Austria.
One of the saddest things about all this is that the mother faces only 5 months to 5 years in prison for completely ruining 3 human lives. Her actions merit much, much more than this.
Poor girls…
The depths of human cruelty can exceed anything that lawmakers can imagine.
Sadly, parents can do anything to their children, including giving them life in context of the most usane conditions and/or uncertain future. How about a license to reproduce? Anyone?
No wonder Arnold Schwarzenegger (phew!) fled into the USA.
Just a note – the woman, a lawyer, had been hospitalized for delusions and hallucinations a few years before. In other words, she was a pre-certified psycho, to put it in acceptable non-fuzzy-minded-liberal terms (so shut up, right-wingers). The school and others had made complaints but the local bureaucrats in charge of such matters dropped the ball. So save a little corner of the woman’s hell for the child welfare bureaucrats who didn’t bother to take a look at the situation after being notified something was amiss as early as 2001.
So what I wonder is if she had been hospitalized before or after this whole ordeal started. If so, what happened to the girls in the meantime?
It’s just so revolting, it’s making me nauseated.
#4 No wonder Arnold Schwarzenegger (phew!) fled into the USA.
And Adolf Hitler fled to Germany. At least the Germans can now blame it on the horrible experiences Hitler had while growing up.
Thats about the saddest story Ive ever read. Even when reported nothing is done. It makes you wonder how much of this goes on still.
nothing but good news in the underground media today
