Additional Comments: I know that unbelievable, horrible things go on in the world all the time. But I am absolutely flabbergasted at the man in Austria that kept his daughter locked in the basement for 24 years and she gave birth to 7 children by him, all with his wife living upstairs, who said she never knew anything was going on. This story beats almost anything I've ever heard. How awful.

Message: I've heard about it too. It's shocking, disgraceful and discussting. I told my son about it and he doesn't believe me.
What bothers me is: How many other people are being made prisoners and haven't been rescued?

Message: Absolutely shocking and inhumane. How cruel and perverted can one person get? At first, I couldn't believe the wife had no inkling there were people living downstairs in the same home. But then I read that they were not actually living directly under the house, but instead in an underground bunker that was built underneath the yard away from the house and soundproofed. So they could scream all day long at the top of their lungs and no one could hear them. How horrific!

That's one of the scariest and sick stories I've ever heard about.
Today came out details about the medical condition of the children. Anemic, no teeth, deformed posture due to the height of the ceiling (very low), limited communication, the mother looks more like she's 70 than 40, etc.
What is even sadder, is that three children were free and had normal lives, while their siblings were locked in hell.
I hope they throw him to that very celler and throw away the key.

brillo, i cannot get over this!!! i've been reading it for the last couple of days and am dumfounded. the fact that he and his wife raised 3 of his and his daughter's children telling officials they were just left there (he said for 1 of the kids his daughter dropped it off saying she couldn't care for it)
what the hell was the wife doing all this time? how did she NOT suspect anything? it's just utterly disgusting and sad and a tragedy.

Message: Isn't that just unbelievable. What is with Austria anyway. Just a couple of years ago that girl in Vienna escaped from that man who had her hidden in some basement hole too. Then the man killed himself. Do these guys have a club or what. Sickening.
