AI Thread Summary

In a shocking case from Amstetten, Austria, a retired electrician has confessed to imprisoning his daughter, Elisabeth, for 24 years in a windowless basement, where he fathered seven children with her. Elisabeth, who was 18 at the time of her captivity, gave birth to twins, one of whom died shortly after birth. Investigators are questioning how the family managed to conceal the existence of the children from neighbors and authorities for so long, with many speculating that his wife may have been complicit or a victim herself. The case raises serious concerns about the psychological dynamics within the family and the extent of the father's manipulation. As the investigation unfolds, the community grapples with the horror of the situation and the implications for justice.

There is an illness in society, an illness i wish that could be detected in ones early life, but it seems it can not, mainly because we do not interact enough, one does not have to be a busy body to know their neighbor.
It is weird that in this age one does not know the person living next to them.

The neighbors to my west are crackheads.
The neighbors to my east do not speak English.
