Stop insinuating the morality everywhere like it is the rule by which this universe is governed. The man had a sexual drive, he obviously did not control it, he commited a crime and hid this sexual crime and decided to keep it so for years, he obviously got what he wanted from her and treated her like an animals. Now what does not add up? huh? everything adds up, he should be locked up in psychiatry jail because his treatment of her was animalistic.


Are you are saying this is not human of him to do? Well he is a human just like you and me, and we all are capable of what he did but luckelly we are sane individuals and without chemical imbalance.

youll freeze there...but before that happens you will loose yourself there. Space will become you and you will no longer be unique and have a consciousness to separate yourself from the rest...So you cannot hide in space because you will not be anymore

I'd say you're kidding, but I fear you're not

Every question that might arise about this story, then, is answered?

Try it this way: If you just watched this movie, would you have seen all there is?

The answer, of course, is no. We never see all there is, even with fiction. What questions, then, remain? There are a few that are obvious.

As Bells pointed out, the experience of Rosemarie Fritzel is something of a story in itself. Three children raised in prison under the house? How exactly did that go? "Oh, he's just off to his workshop. It makes him so happy to spend time down there."

Was it religious faith or a psychiatric condition that compelled her to care for three "adopted" children? Is infant abandonment a common thing in Europe, so that, by the third child "left" at the doorstep, she didn't even question the issue? Did these children look remotely alike? Did Rosemarie suspect, and live in acute denial, or did she legitimately have no freakin' clue?

Your attempt to close the philosophical chapter on this is almost exactly as inadequate as saying that the police came and rescued the girl and her children and everyone lived happily ever after.

 

This is why we have capital punishment.

 

I fail to see what that would actually accomplish.

 

I can't imagine spending 24 years without ever seeing daylight. 3 of those kids were raised never having fresh air or grass, birds, sunlight...
I just read the max he could get is 15 yrs. He's been raping his daughter for 31 years. He made her have his children. He made her give birth in a cellar by herself. I'm horrified. Maybe that's why Austria has people who lock other people away for years.

...Fritzl was placed in pretrial detention and faces up to 15 years in prison if charged, tried and convicted on rape charges, the most grave of his alleged offenses under Austrian law....

 

bells, there is one possable answer i surpose. Could it just have been a fall out shelter that was already there?

Of course that doesnt explaine the REALLY fishy thing of 3 children dumped on his wifes doorsteep that she raised without ever checking whos they really were

 

I read this article before I saw this thread and that's exactly what I thought. 24 years with your father constantly raping you and giving birth to his kids?? How the hell did she not?!:shrug:

 

I wonder what the kids are like...

i think its awful, what that woman and her children went through, it is said that she had 7 of his children, and none of them saw daylight!

but i guess if your born into that situation then you dont know any differant and you don't ask about the world! :shrug:

 

Right, that's exactly what I mean when I wonder what they're like. Clearly not the social norm, but I'm interested to see if they're at all happy even if not normal, having not known anything else in life. It'd be interesting to see how they view the world.

 

yes, and i would!

i would not.........after 24yrs, wanted to see the sun for the first time, it must be like an alien world to those kids, and the media should leave them alone after the initial shock is over with and let them deal with life the way they need to, what bugs me though, is the mum was upstairs, why didnt she do somthing about it?

did he beat her, and abuse her aswell, was she scared of him, was she affraid of life alone?

 

The father made her write letters saying she couldn't handle/afford the kids, pinned a note to them and left them on the front doorstep. He was always the one that 'found them' and they were always too young to tell where their mother was. Why he did this to certain children and not other....????
Here she was in the cellar trying to survive and her family thought she was probably a drug addicted hooker somewhere having kid after kid she couldn't take care of.

Try and imagine what would have happened if he had dropped dead of a heart attack. They would have starved to death and rotted in that cellar.

 

How old were the children?

We are talking about an old man here, so I am wondering why they did not all jump him to get out?

Then again living in a basement all your life I don't think you could do much but they out number him and he is old, I think they could still have done it.

 

Also, would be interesting to know how the mother brought them up? Did she tell them about the outside world or just pretend that the basement was all there was?
