Too shocked for words

I normally hate posting topics with just links, but this story really is an awful, awful thing.

Worst line:

Mr. F. lived upstairs with his wife, Rosemarie F., who police said had no idea about her husband's other family living in the cellar.

People never cease to amaze me with their cruelty.

 

[Blackadder]

Ah, yes, this was just on the news for me.

It's... amazing. Amazing in that the father managed to pull it off for so many years, did such horrible things, apparently never felt any guilt, and is only just now getting caught.

The poor woman... really, it's all just amazing and horrific at the same time.
Shocking.

 

[antimatter]

what. the. ****.
i'm getting sick of **** like this.

 

[Crystallion]

I agree with CK: Too shocked for words......

 

[~N9NE~]

Words do fail.

How must the wife feel, if she genuinely never knew about this? For her to find out her husband fabricated the dissapearance of their daughter and that he actually was capable of doing something so vile? It's unimaginable.

 

[Miharu]

Yeah, what's mind-boggling is the fact that his wife never knew what was going on. Either that, or she never bothered to confirm any suspicions or doubts that she may have had.

It's rather disgusting.

 

[Zero Beat]

You know, I'd rather not read these things sometimes<_<. Freaking messed up people.

No you don't, you post one of these every month or so.

I agree. It must be awful.

I wonder what it must have been like for those children. Seeing the sky for the first time, breathing fresh air, and seeing all the vibrant colors of the real world.

Doesn't mean I enjoy them. I post them because they just go by the wayside for stupid **** like what color Britney Spears Azua dyed her hair.

 

[.:~*Momo*~:.]

Wow... that's really... wow... what got me though wasn't the fact that he did what he did... but that he got away with it for so long when it happened in his own home... I wonder if his wife had suspicions about what was going on, either way it's a really frightening and disturbing story.

 

[cF=)]

I stopped reading halfway when they started giving photographs.

If I could physically describe what I'd like to write, I would pull my guts out.

 

[Teczer0]

Yea i stopped reading it after some point.

Thats unbelievably cruel and disturbing. Its unbelievable how cruel people can be.

 

[Reyairia]

What annoys me the most is that in the last three years the only notable times Austria has made all out international news was when they release someone from a captor's basement.

 

[slave1]

HOLY **** what the heck is wrong with that man.

 

[Reyairia]

HOLY **** what the heck is wrong with that man.

What isn't wrong with that man?

 

[Affinity]

sick *******...

 

[D13]

That story is disgusting and horrible. I find it hard to believe anyone on on this world would do that.

 

[omfgomfg]

naturally you guys would recoil at the article

 

[~Krystal~]

I could say I'm horrified and disgusted, but really, I'm not surprised.

Same old things from this same crazy world.

 

[Wikipedia]

Only a true stoic would claim to have no emotion after reading that story.

Utterly devastating, imagine what the neighbors are thinking.

 

[Noypi_GjD]

....I don't know what to say. How does this happen. It is so depressing how these sick people just get away with this.

 

[Leahdybug]

I cant believe, in fact i really dont, his wife was ignorant to all that...Anything that could redeem that more in my eyes is that she was probably brainwashed.

You have to remember, people like this guy tend to be extremely smart, and very very charming.

Everyone that knew him probably thought he was the LEAST likely person to do this kinda thing. Any evidence was probably minor, and he would've been very careful to make sure his wife of all people never had a clue at all.

And unlike the lunatics on TV, he would've exceedingly rarely (if ever) made any sly or subtle references to what he did.

It doesn't really shock me she had no idea at all.

 

[Crimson King]

The room was soundproof, and they were probably independently wealthy. He just made up reasons to visit his other family for the weekend and boom, wife wouldn't think anything of it. Honestly, if your spouse said they were going fishing with the guys would you assume he/she was ****** your child who'd been missing for 24 years?

 

[Leahdybug]

I dont know I just find it so hard to believe but your point makes sense BLack and Crimision. 24 years I would think even the sharpest minds would do things that would make you think. It probabyl takes a trained mind to pick up on things that could be suspious.

 

[digitalmaster287]

Wow...just wow...I can't believe there is a person as sick and twisted like him in the world.

 

[Pikaville]

I feel really bad for the children(the eldest son will never have a normal life)

The 1st thing the youngest son said when he saw the sky for the 1st time was "Is that god up there?"

It breaks my heart to know there is such cruel messed up people in this world.It is the sickest story I have ever heard.The guy even built a sound proof room to abuse the mother in........sicko.

 

[Dastrn]

If i didn't have bigger and better things to do with my life, I swear I would find a way to kill that man.

But alas, I am busy with more important and positive things for now.

Anyone out there that's poor, lonely, bored, and doesn't have a plan for the rest of their life want to take care of this situation for the rest of us?

(required caveat: i'm not condoning or proposing that murder is an appropriate solution to any problem...officially.)

 

[XACE-K]

This is just messed up.

 

[Virgilijus]

I read it and am still in disbelief, yet I know it is true. That is just absolutely horrible in every way conceivable...oh God...
