Because of his father has been finding who killed his son since 1983, and he thought he might get a change to reminisce with former classmates, he though probably someone knows something.

Summary:


FRANKFURT, Germany. The police arrested a 73 year old men who locked his daughter for 24 years and seven kids with her.( three of them had never gone out until the police arrived).According to the news, Author said that the father locked his daugther and incested, even the daugther said she had been incested since she was 11 year-old. Also, some children were abducted by the men, and some children was born in the "prison". After they identified by the police, one child was still in serious condition.

"There is not only one, but a number of rooms: one room to sleep in, one to cook, and there are also sanitation facilities," Polzer said in interview with the Austrian broadcaster ORF.

The "prison" had been existed for 24 years, but before the police arrived, notbody knew that.


My opinion:

Actually, I'm so suprised that somebody can being captivitied for 24 years, and the guy who captivited her is her father. Well, it's so horrible to know that. eventually, the women has been rescued, but her children probably is her father's children. What a horrible relationship. The article infulence my thinking because I can't believe the world has so many bad people, the article teachs me that there are bad people still exist in the world, so I have to be carefully. It shows us, the society needs strengthen the protection to every family.
