Observations of a News Junkie

Will it never end?

A man known only as Krzysztof B. has been knicknamed the “Polish Fritzl”. While nothing has been proven yet, his daughter – 21-year-old Alicja – came forward claiming he began raping her at age 15, locking her in her room and fathering her two children, who were given up for adoption. Her mother was also allegedly abused, and an 11-year-old brother is somewhere in the mix. The police are investigating the story.

There’s apparently a similar case in Zimbabwe. This woman, now 30, is expecting her sixth child, all supposedly by her father.

These do sound eerily similar to the Josef Fritzl situation: they are all extremely disturbing and make me feel sick at what humans are somehow capable of doing to other people, even family members.
