Kidnapped for 24 years

A man of 73 has been arrested in the Austrian town of Amstetten, accused of kidnapping his daughter and fathering 7 children with her since 1984. The woman is now 42 years of age. One of her babies died shortly after birth. The youngest two only saw daylight for the first time in their lives as they were led out by police. More on this disturbing story from the BBC website.

  1. What a sick-o !!!  Everyday, I hear these bizarre stories and just shake my head wondering what this world is coming to.  How sad for those kids and that poor woman.  Meanwhile here is the US the Texas FLDS thing goes on. I feel bad for the dear LDS folk who continue to get linked to this off-shoot group when they are as appalled at what's going on as the rest of us are.   Linda in WA

  5. How Horrible!!!  I hope he's a strong man so he could live out MANY years in a torturous prison.

  6. I heard about this on the news this afternoon and I was horrified! I cannot think of a legal punishment that would be adequate. So sick.

  8. I think he is mentally ill to do this. You know if he did this to the first daughter he was abusing his and her children also. He needs to be either put to death or sent to a mental place for life. Helen
