Following the story on the Austrian incest case, I have wonder HOW the wife of the father could not have known what was going on in the cellar below her home, where her daughter and three children were being kept. Elizabeth had been in labour six times during those twenty-four years in captivity, raised six children, yet no one above heard anything?!?!?!

I can't even imagine what Elizabeth and her children must have gone through. When her eldest daughter became seriously ill, and her father "allowed" her to be taken to hospital, that is the first time in their lives that those children had ever seen daylight.

Every day on the news, we hear appalling stories of war and suffering. Hopefully, just this once, the plight of Elizabeth and her family will have a happy ending.
