73 year old Austrian hides daughter in cellar for 24 years   
 

A 73-year-old Austrian is under arrest on suspicion of hiding his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, police say. Josef Fritzl was believed to have lured his daughter Elisabeth into the basement of the family's home in Amstetten, north-west Austria, on August 24 1984.

The existence of the woman, believed missing since 1984 and now 42, emerged after a teenager said to be her daughter was taken to hospital.

Both the woman and teenage girl are receiving medical treatment and the other children are in care.

I dread to think what this poor woman must have been through psychologically. Not only has she had to give birth to 7 children (including twins) with no medical intervention (in a society where it is the norm to expect medical support in childbirth) but she has been repeatedly raped by her father (a man she should have been able to trust). Who knows yet whether these poor children have any genetic defects.

In the report, it states that 'His wife Rosemarie had allegedly not been aware of what was going on.'...For goodness sake, does she REALLY expect the world to believe that??

So junglers, what punishment should this psycho 'father' recieve?

4/28/2008 5:55:34 AM   From:  mercury   ya know what's really creepy? he looks like Chris' Uncle Kenny.
4/28/2008 5:57:36 AM   From:  mercury   lock him in a dark hole filled with snakes... the kind that just bite and make you really sick, but won't kill you. Then cover him in honey and send some red ants down there to keep him company. Toss in a couple rats, so the snakes don't starve.. that'd just be cruel.
4/28/2008 5:58:28 AM   From:  mercury   Rosemarie should get the same treatment.
4/28/2008 5:59:30 AM   From:  Feckless Wench   I believe the Yorkshire Ripper, Fred West's wife Rosemary initially tried to claim that she knew nothing too....must be something about being named after a herb.....LOL!
4/28/2008 6:01:29 AM   From:  mercury   yeah... I have an Aunt Rosemarie that's rather clueless on occasion, too.
4/28/2008 6:04:08 AM   From:  Feckless Wench   I have an Aunt Rosemary that's just a total bitch.....but enough said about her....LOL!
4/28/2008 6:13:26 AM   From:  mercury   mine's been called that, too! :P I happen to like her, but only in small doses. She gets me frustrated.
4/28/2008 6:24:02 AM   From:  BCAR   If only society had intervened when he was younger and showing aggressive behavior.
4/28/2008 8:39:07 AM   From:  RaE   along with those snakes, ants, and rats, give him slightly salty water with milk of magnesia in it, and make sure there is an inch or so of water on the floor, and some constant kind of drip or drizzle. That should make for just about the most miserable conditions possible...

4/28/2008 10:14:55 AM   From:  eddo   holy crap...
4/28/2008 10:30:25 AM   From:  beags   You'd think that a grown woman and 7 kids ought to be able to overpower the asshole enough for at least one of them to get out and alert someone. And to hell with the bitch who said she didn't know anything... wouldn't the first reaction of a mother missing her child be to search every-fracking-where near and in the house to see if maybe, just *maybe* she'd be lucky enough to find her missing daughter right under her own nose? Hell, when my dogs are in the other room and I can't find one of them I'll turn the whole house upside down. I believe my husband did the same one day when I had taken the puppy to my dad's house- he got home from work and couldn't find Ernie, so he went looking everywhere for him inside until he called my cell and found out I had the puppy and was just running late coming home. I don't care if your kid is 4 or 40- if they go missing, you *look* for her. Everywhere. These two are nut-jobs and both of them should be forced to endure severe child-birth-like suffering without medical intervention. 
4/28/2008 11:12:42 AM   From:  Rani   This man should recieve the maximum punishment possible. And I guess by now, many of you are aware that I no longer accept the lame excuse "I didn't know it was going on" For God's sake where the hell was all these 7 kids being raised, in the basement with mom or was grampa/daddy bringing home little bundles of joy he found in the garden. That must have been on sound proof basement.
4/28/2008 11:20:17 AM   From:  Rani   "The community of Amstetten should drown in shame ... The neighbours are turning a blind eye," the Oesterreich newspaper wrote in an editorial. <<< I agree, they should!
4/28/2008 11:30:31 AM   From:  BCAR   Never been to Amstetten Austria, can't make a judement call on the entire city myself.
4/28/2008 11:35:21 AM   From:  Rani   Hey the newspaper there made the judgement call, I just agree!
4/28/2008 5:07:15 PM   From:  Chi   omg, that is so sick and twisted.... The so-called mother knew... Sick. I don't know who I hate more. The father, but the mother a little slightly less.
4/29/2008 11:50:50 AM   From:  LiquidSnake   Why is it just when you think you've heard all the nastiest stories, there comes along an even nastier one? Humans never fail to surprise, I swear.
4/29/2008 12:09:58 PM   From:  Kethria   disgusting!!!
4/29/2008 12:34:42 PM   From:  FireyReign   I just wonder where the woman who 'knew nothing' thought the 7 kids came from?
4/29/2008 1:08:47 PM   From:  Feckless Wench   It said on one of the reports that the father would take the newborn babies and dump them on the doorstep with a note 'from' his daughter asking them to look after the baby.
4/29/2008 2:42:16 PM   From:  timesjoke   You know, I have been giving this story a lot of thought and the part obout the wife not knowing anything just does not sit well with me. Ovrt twenty years this man kept his daughter in the basement but the wife knew nothing? Okay, he had taken special actions to keep the wife out of the basement, but there are other things like how did he feed them over twenty years and the wife never noticed massive amounts of food dissapearing? Dirty dishes, drink, even if he only gave them canned foods trash day must have been interesting to the wife who would see 2 to 3 times more trash be taken to the curb then she created. Not trying to be insulting but I have never met a woman who was not snooping into every detail of her home. Men can live in a home for 50 years and never even look in certain cabninets and be blissfully ignorant about what is in there, a woman cannot in my opinion.
4/29/2008 2:51:23 PM   From:  Feckless Wench   *applauds tj*
4/29/2008 6:23:14 PM   From:  Ali   I think he and his wife should be locked in a room with rani for the rest of their days.
4/29/2008 6:23:18 PM   From:  BCAR   Quite true, I can't even find my socks.
4/29/2008 6:24:05 PM   From:  BCAR   Oops, Ali shows up, Hi darlin!
4/29/2008 6:32:03 PM   From:  Ali   Hi B! I've missed you. Can I live in your cellar?
5/5/2008 11:36:15 AM   From:  Chi   Reports state that around the time that his daughter was born, this monster was convicted and served time for rape. Yet his retarded wife still stayed with him. Let's see, the daughter ran away, when she turned up missing she was forced to write a note that she had joined a cult and not to search for her. Then when many of her poor children "turned up" at their doorstep that idiot of a woman still had no clue to think something was terribly wrong. No, cannot fathom to think that the convicted rapist might have anything to do with any of it. And like many said, all the missing food, clothing and money and time unaccounted for. Ugh, to think what those poor children and woman must've gone through for so long.... Imprisoned and living like rats for having done nothing wrong. He should really, truly pay severely for this and that woman. How can it be possible for someone to be that painfully stupid. I don't believe it.
5/5/2008 11:43:18 AM   From:  Chi   Fukking monsters. Oh and forget about at least using condoms or some other form of birthcontrol. Nah, just keeping knocking up your own daughter and start a collection of children like it is nothing. It's already hell having children in the comforts of a hospital with medicine, care, nurses and doctors. Can you imagine having all those kids (your own father's no less) in a funky basement and caring for all of those children there and living day after day in that filth? Agh, stories like this piss the hell out of me, so much that my side hurts.
5/5/2008 5:00:36 PM   From:  Ali   Spouses who not only turn a blind eye to the criminal acts of their partners but also make excuses for their behaviors as well are as disgusting as the criminals themselves.
5/16/2008 8:12:27 AM   From:  Power   There is no sufficient punishment for this type of act. Death is too easy, torture would be pointless, social ostracization clearly not a concern of his. Just put him in a box that's a foot shorter than he is and just forget about him.
5/16/2008 8:16:24 AM   From:  eddo   I have never agreed with Power so much in all my life.
5/16/2008 8:37:50 AM   From:  Power   Er, I mean, uh, get that man a medal. No seriously, I'm all for tying up hottie teenagers, but only consentually and unincestually.
