The recent rescue of a woman who was held captive by her own father for 24 years is one of the worst cases of child abuse that I’ve ever heard of, so brutal in fact that’s it’s practically inconceivable.

A 42-year-old Austrian woman who has been missing since 1984 has finally been located by police thanks to a tip they recieved.

Since the age of 11 she has been held captive by her father who repeatedly raped and abused her, forcing her to mother seven of his children, all while locked in the cellar of her home.

It is a story of horror that has shocked not only Austrians but people from around the world.

Although not much is yet known about the children which range from ages 5 to 20 years of age, the 19 -year-old daughter is currently in hospital in serious condition.
