42 Year Old Women Found Imprisoned in Father's Basement

The New York Times broke a story yesterday that nauseates me.

In Austria, a 42 year old woman was freed from her father's basement after 24 years of imprisonment and sexual abuse. She had given birth to 7 children in that time.

Her mother was living in the house the whole time. The father had told her that their daughter had run away.

The man began abusing his daughter when she as 11 years old.

Crimes like this should not be stood for. When the woman went missing, there should have been an investigation. Steps need to be taken worldwide so that this never happens again.
