This story made the news in Australia too. It's great both boys were found alive, but I think the kids AND parents have a long road ahead of them.
There was a recent incident in Austria with a girl named Natascha Kampusch who was held in a tiny bunker-like room from age 10 to 18.
If you Google her name you can see photos of the room she was kept. Really, it was like a tiny dorm room, but still chilling. Her captor killed himself the day she finally ran away. I guess he just didn't want to be anyone's "wife" in prison.
"She has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer...But this girl, who is to my knowledge very unpleasant and we might even say a high-grade bitch, can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers"
Ernest Hemingway on writer, aviation pioneer and horse trainer Beryl Markham
I was just going to bring her up. she never ran either. i think honestly you have to remember how YOUNG these kids are when they are taken. although at the time they know this isnt what should become of their lives, they also dont know where they are at. They have no idea if they'd survive if they ran. Or if this person would find them and if they did,, would they make good on the threats they had made. be it to their parents or the victim. For fucks sake these are kids that prob still believe in santa.
there are adults that are taken from their homes in say Asia and eastern Europe that are brought the US and held in the same sorta way. They dont know where they are, they can't speak english and if they can its not good enough to really help them. so they learn to depend on the kidnapper. its sad but its the truth. think of the young girls in the US that are taken by pimps and sold on the streets , sure they could tell any trick they are held againt their control, but they truly believe their situation is stuck.
The harsh truth to this sort of situation is that , these people will never be who they might have once grown to be. They will probably never feel safe or secure. That is the truth to it. And that sucks big time. for them to be able to trust anyone will take forever if it ever will happen. The only thing that is within their control will be chosing whether to be a victim or a survivor. And it will be years before they will come to that conclusion.
On the OP the younger boy was kidnapped, I truly believe that this sadist of a kidnapper probably took the boy because he was the "right " age. The older boy was becoming just that. older. who knows what his fate would have been. i truly doubt he would have been able to be released. this sick ass that kidnapped them probably was doing sicker shit than just molesting, i remember there was a story about a guy who did the same shit although he had the "older" of the kids molest the younger and he video taped it ..selling it to child pornography websites. he was only caught because once one of the older kinds reached I think 17 or so he offed him. the dna evidence linked the kidnapper and the cops found him since ..get this..he was a registered felon ..( all registered felons have to submit dna )
the world is a sick fucking place ladies. Although people tend to argue its just now sick. I truly believe it always has been ( maybe not as frequently talked about ) as it is now. Just back in the day it was harder to get caught. Imagine the amount of depraved shit that has went on and hasnt' been solved due to the lack of DNA knowledge.
I think in the years to come a lot of cold cases will finally be solved. At least I hope.
I remember reading about that. She was kept in an underground room approximately 9 ft long, 6 ft wide, with a 7 ft 9 in ceiling. The entrance was hidden behind a cupboard in the kidnappers garage. She was kept there 24/7 for about 6 months at which time he started letting her spend time in the house. He would beat her black and blue and then take pictures of her. He warned her that the doors and windows of the house were booby-trapped with high explosives and claimed to be carrying a gun, and that he would kill her if she attempted to escape. She'd apparently tried to escape once before the time that was sucessful.
Ugh.
People are fucking warped.
