This man is still in the news...

Josef Fritzel is back in the news now charged with murder.  I can't help but read about this very scary person.  The charges stand as: slavery, rape, and now murder of the seventh child because he refused to take the child to a doctor though he knew it could die.  If found guilty the slavery and rape charges could get Fritzel 20 years, and the murder charge an addition 10 to life.  I hope this man spends the rest of his life in prison...his short life.

Seriously Creepy Father

I have been following this story since it broke months ago. I can’t help it despite it being seriously creepy. Josef Fritzel, the Austrian man, locked his daughter in his basement for 24 years. He lied about her running away and fathered her 6 children. He kept this a secret from his wife. The last report I read said the daughter and children were adjusting to life above ground. Fritzel was sent to a psychiatric facility where these statements were made: “he was born to rape” and he thought he made his daughter “unattractive” to other men. According to this article which I found on Jezebel.com, England may have one too. Sick!
