the monthlong inquiry that followed the seizure of more than 460 children from the Yearning For Zion Ranch near Eldorado has been hampered by a lack of cooperation from both children and adults at the compound.
DNA: Austrian Man Also Fathered Daughter's Kids
Fritzl has confessed to imprisoning his daughter Elisabeth in the cellar beneath their two-story home and fathering seven children by her.
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
AMSTETTEN, Austria (Reuters) - DNA tests showed that Austrian Josef Fritzl, who raped his daughter and kept her prisoner in a windowless cellar for 24 years, was the father of her six surviving children, police said on Tuesday.
Fritzl has confessed to imprisoning his daughter Elisabeth in the cellar beneath their two-story home and fathering seven children by her.
Prosecutors said they were investigating Fritzl over the death of the seventh child and that he could face a charge of killing the child through neglect.
"The result...shows that the six children, which the unfortunate Elisabeth Fritzl gave birth to in the basement, have all been undoubtedly fathered by her own father, the now 73-year-old Josef Fritzl," Franz Polzer, head of the criminal investigation unit in Lower Austria, told a news conference.
Police have said Fritzl has admitted to burning the body of the seventh child when it died soon after birth.
"Josef F. is being investigated for murder by failing to render assistance," local chief public prosecutor Peter Ficenc told Reuters.
Investigations were also being conducted for rape, incest and coercion, Ficenc said.
Investigators were still searching the 60 square meter (645 sq ft) cellar beneath electrical engineer Fritzl's home, Franz Prucher, head of security in Lower Austria said.
"Down there it is just chaos at the moment. We have to go over every detail very carefully," Prucher told Reuters.
Fritzl appeared before a judge in St Poelten, the provincial capital of Lower Austria, on Tuesday, who ordered that police could keep him in detention while inquiries continue.
SILENT
Officials said Fritzl said nothing on the advice of his lawyer. He was calm when he arrived on Monday and had been put in a cell where he can be monitored in case he tries to commit suicide, said Guenther Moerwald, head of St Poelten prison.
Elisabeth Fritzl, 42, says her father lured her into the cellar of their home in 1984 and drugged and handcuffed her before imprisoning her.
Three of her children, aged 19, 18 and 5, had been locked in the cellar with her since birth and had never seen sunlight. The younger two were boys, the eldest a girl.
Three other children -- two girls and one boy -- were adopted and brought up by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie.
The case unfolded when the 19-year-old daughter became ill and was taken to hospital. Doctors appealed for her mother to come forward to give details of her medical history.
The doctor treating the young woman, Albert Reiter, said on Tuesday her condition was critical and her artificially induced coma would continue for several more days.

Again, you ignore the part of the story which you should be questioning.
*sigh*
THEY'RE FREAKIN BRAINWASHED!!!!
Systematic physical, sexual, and mental abuse will do that to people.
Keep scanning TidyBowl and leave the thinking to those better qualified. Your ignorance is astounding, your paranoia is monumental, and your agenda is showing. Then again, what would I know about working with victims of crimes?
They know some things... probably did physical examinations and found the broken bones weren't set right as they healed.Hence the reason they are being uncooperative?
- If they are so brainwashed then why do the authorities suddenly know so much about them?
- How are they finding out about all of these "broken bones" from people who won't talk to them?
If they found out about the broken bones in the way I mentioned above, that only tells that the bones were broken, not how. That's where the lack of cooperation comes into play.
- If the people are talking so freely about such things, why didn't the story also speak to the reasons that these bones became broken?
So far, this is only known to be a "possible sign." They want to know for sure the bones were broken due to abusive practices before they, as you say, crow about how this is justification. It's an attempt by the state to not get accused of the very thing you're accusing them of.
- If the bones were broken due to abusive practices; don't you feel that the authorities, and the press, would not have missed a prime opportunity to crow about how this is justification for the decision to "rescue" these children from that abuse?
I ain't kill't nobody.
Yet.
You have already murdered in your heart.
still got that union card?
That's why I said "... be it at heart or in reality." You have already murdered in your heart. All that's left is to do it in reality. That's the way it is with all of us. Those who foment murder uin their heart and those who finally do the deed.
thanks for sharing. now get back to that peanut farm and bailing out billy again.
but seriously, jim, this thread has gotten utterly ridiculous. you're vigorously defending obvious pedophiles.
relativistic arguments about it being "their tradition" are for the birds. fuck that. fuck them.
next you'll be defending the lifestyle choices of NAMBLA. and no, there really ain't much difference.
Indian Babies Dropped 50 Feet for Good Luck in Bizarre Ritual
Thursday, May 01, 2008
A jaw-dropping ritual in India has infants plunging 50 feet from a tower to wish them good health.
In a video shot on April 29, "good luck babies" are thrown from the top of a building and onto a sheet during the celebration, which has been celebrated in the Indian state of Maharashtra for 500 years, the U.K.’s Sky News reported Thursday.
The proud parents who allow their child to take part in the ritual take a vow to do so at the Baba Sheikh Umar Saheb Dargah temple, Sky News reported.

just FYI i'm not feeling particularly emotional about this, fella.
but on the topic of emotions, i don't think folks should have sex until they are at least somewhat emotionally mature. for women, that's prolly around 21. (notice i said "somewhat emotionally mature," not "having reached the point where they realize that talking for its own sake is silly.") for men, that age is probably closer to 47, but in fairness, hey, we'll cut 'em a little slack.
personally i can't imagine pigging a chick under 25, though that may be largely the annoyance factor.
how old do YOU think a girl should be before getting fucked?
