It seems that more and more cases are appearing of women who have been kept in captivity for long periods of time by some fairly weird people.
The most recent case is that of a man in Austria who imprisoned his ten year old daughter for 24 years. During this time he fathered 7 kids with her, 6 of which survived, and three of which were sent to his grandparents with the claim they had been abandoned on his doorstep.
Even more worryingly his wife denies any knowledge of his crimes, despite the daughter and grand kids being kept in his basement. You would have though at least the issue of the food bill might have come up at some point, i mean keeping 7 people fed and watered is no cheap thing to do!
The good news however is that this man will be going to jail for a long time, with kidnapping, imprisonment, Incest and murder of the dead child on the cards.
I think the real question which needs to be asked is HOW did this man get away with imprisoning a girl for so long?
Surely someone in the town must have noticed the disappearance at some point. I think some real work needs to be done from stopping this king of thing from happening.
