After the case of Natascha Kampusch now this absolutely incredible and disturbing story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7370897.stm http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/0...ef=mpstoryemail I still can't believe that this has happened! |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
|
That is wild, isn't it? The price of a society large enough to live anonymously I suppose. |

No, no - the incident happened in the town Amstetten - a little village of 20,000 inhabitants in a rural area where usually everybody knows everybody. Usually one would think that these kinds of things happen in anonymous megacities, but not in rural Austria! |

The area may be small, but the way things are set up today you can live very anonymously. It is still a very large society, and not nearly as interdependent or interactive as it once was. |

That guy is one sick fvck. I can understand why the girl is 'disturbed'. I would be too. How could the guy's wife not know? She must have been in denial. Those poor kids.

I don't believe you can hide multiple persons in your cellar for 24 years and your wife doesn't know. |

No, I have trouble with that as well. I was thinking, maybe she's bedridden, maybe she's in a wheelchair, hard of hearing.......but no, how can you not know someone (and babies, children?!!) is living in your house for 24 years. What a sick family.

My recollection was that Germans, at least, think of rural Austrians as primitive rednecks. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

I've never heard that. It's more likely we would say that about Bavarians :lol: |

Here's a quote from another article:
If I were an "authority" I might say to myself...."how is it possible that this couple keeps finding babies outside it's house?" but maybe that's just me :rolleyes: |

I'm with Deb on that one. Good luck to the mass of psychologists assigned to sort this one out. |

I can't imagine the daughter will ever be ok. I sincerely hope the best for her, but I just can't see her ever being a normal, happy person. Hope I'm wrong. :mellow: |
