Italian 'Fritzl' and son arrested

Police have arrested a man and his son on suspicion of raping their daughters in the northern Italian city of Turin.

The son was allegedly encouraged to imitate his father, who reportedly kept his daughter captive in a dark room for 25 years, sexually abusing her.

Italian media say the first victim, given the pseudonym "Laura", is now 34 and is having psychological treatment.

Laura alerted the police, who now believe that the 63-year-old man's son also raped his own four daughters.

Laura's abuse is believed to have started when she was nine years old.

Italian media say the case echoes that 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.

Italian police announced the arrest of the 63-year-old man, an itinerant trader, and his 40-year-old son on Friday.

Ugh, -10 Faith in Humanity points. So what was going on ~25 years ago that we have two cases of fathers imprisoning their daughters like this?

1984. it was a tough time for everybody.

The son was allegedly encouraged to imitate his father, who reportedly kept his daughter captive in a dark room for 25 years, sexually abusing her.

Conclusive proof that portable dark rooms should be banned?:confused:

*clears throat*

The more and more of these threads I read, the more and more I realise that I share my gender with a bunch of total assholes.

Look, you share your species with a bunch of assholes, not just your gender.

all we can do is stop them as soon as what they are doing comes to light.

This says absolutely nothing about humanity as a whole. All it says is that these few individuals out of six and a half billion are sick scum.

I could just as easily hold up some random guy who's spent his life volunteering and never committed so much as a missdemenor as proof that humanity as a whole is selfless and benevolent, but you wouldn't buy that would you?

The sad truth is, their have always been bastards, their will always be bastards, and until we perfect perfect mind control their will always be bastards, at which point the last bastards will be the guys controlling the mind control. But we should be cautious about drawing conclusions about humanity as a whole based simply on its lowest members.

I'm gonna blame it on the Alps. Everybody that lives around those damn things are weird as hell.

The Alps are the Mountains of Power where Thulsa Doom resides. That's why Conan was forced to flee from there and go to California to become governor.

What is best in life? To imprison your daughters, rape them for 25 years, and to be the father of their incestuous children.

It was the 80's, man. The heady promise of Betamax was extinguished by the dark forces of JVC, everyone was about to die in a nuclear war, Happy Days and M.A.S.H. were both canceled.
Then there was AIDS, and people realized that having sex with someone without knowing their complete sexual history was definitely going to kill you. So dragging your daughters down to the basement the moment they were born started to make sense.

Meh, I fear there are more cases. After all, about 70% of the rapes take place within the family.

Anyway the worst part of it, as I gather from the media, is that the father-rapist-slaver had been charged with rape of her daughter some years ago but got out on a technicality. Wtf.

At least she's fitting in.

..wuuuuuut?

Earlier in the news today, they interviewed the grand-father's other children on the matter. When they kept on inteviewing one after the other I was thinking: "How many sons and daughters does this guy have anyway?" Then I read that he has fathered 10 children so far. Apparently he was waiting for the right match.

Considering the attitude of the rest of the family I am willing to consider the possibility that the woman is mentally unstable and has made it up, inspired by the Fritzl case.

Of course, it will be easily verified if she indeed never went to school.

I say, turn these guys over to Violent Bob (http://www.biggercheese.com/index.php?comic=3).

And ANOTHER case in Columbia. Again 25 years of abuse. Again a daddy with his daughter (although the father claims he is not the biological father)- they had 11/14 (the numbers differ depending on the source) children together of which 3/6 died.

Are these people in a club or something ?

This is why all children should be removed from their parents at birth and collectively raised by government sanctioned privatized caretakers who will have the child's best interests at heart right below getting payed.
