Just beggars belief doesn't Catherine? Makes my blood run cold.........Poor child and her poor kids.......can't tell you what I'd like to do to him........but you can imagine xx

what I don't get is how they lived in the basement and yet her mother didn't hear a thing!! How on earth can she give birth to 7 kids and not be heard? Plus babies cry etc etc.

How twisted is this!!!!!!!!!!!!1

:o(

according to the report I get the impression some of the kids were dumped on the doorstep with a note, giving the impression the daughter had dumped them, cos she couldn't take care of them. So the mother and the father took them in. they were raised normally whilst a few the eldest 2 and youngest were locked away and it was only when the eldest a 19yr old became very ill she was allowed to go to hospital.

It was on our tv tonite in NZ - how disgusing for the daughter and kids. what about the mother? she must have known.

Police in Austria are trying to establish how a father was able to lock his daughter in a cellar for almost 24 years and force her to bear him seven children.

some of the children were imprisoned with their mother. Others lived a relatively normal life above ground with the man who is their father AND grandfather, 73-year-old Josef Fritzl.

Police say Elisabeth Fritzl, now aged 42, had been missing since August 29, 1984.

She has told them she was drugged and handcuffed and imprisoned in the basement of a house in the town of Amstetten.

Authorities got access to the area, comprising a narrow hallway and several rooms, after Mr Fritzl told them how to unlock a hidden door using a code only he had known.

Daughter held captive for 24yrs by her father in a basement cellar, she has apparently had 6 or 7 kids by him. It's unbelieveable.
