...they worship the ground he treads...



This is not a picture of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man jailed for life on 19 March for having kept his daughter as a sex slave in a cellar for 24 years and fathered her seven children, murdering one of them by neglect. In medieval times perhaps it may have been not unusual for Kings or Lords to have sex slaves, but even in those days keeping a daughter as a sex slave would have been considered evil. Some acts are just beyond bad…beyond words. The shock of this incident hasn’t even died, when just recently another such deed has come to light. This time it happened in Italy and the daughter was kept in a dark room for 25 years and was continuously sexually abused by her father. When she ran away to her brother, he too locked her up for two weeks and raped her.
The daughter has alleged that her brother is also sexually abusing his four daughters. No names or photos have yet been given in the report. For the time being the father and the brother are mystery men.

The horrifying aspect of this case is that that the accused father has a large family two daughters and eight sons, who are defending him and say that ‘they worship the ground he treads!’ Beyond words as I said so I’ll leave it here.
