Not flowers in the attic, more like weeds in the basement… family found locked in basement after 24 years of imprisonment in windowless concrete room by her father, whom is also the father of her own children… thats some sick shit. How twisted does one need to be to commit that horrific crime against his own family.

this is the house the woman and children were locked up in for 24 years. It even looks like a prison, talk about no curb appeal.

VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian police have arrested a man they believe imprisoned his daughter in a windowless basement for 24 years, abused her and fathered seven children with her.

Police said the woman, identified as 42-year-old Elisabeth F, told them her father Josef had lured her into the basement of the block where they lived in the town of Amstetten in 1984, and drugged and handcuffed her before imprisoning her.

Three of her children were locked up since birth in the basement of the drab, grey building along with their mother and had never seen sunlight or received any education, police said.

Some parts of the dungeon were no more than 1.70 meters (5 ft 6 in) high and officials in Amstetten said the basement labyrinth even contained a padded cell.

Fritzl had hidden the entrance to the cell behind shelves and only he knew the secret code for the reinforced concrete door, said officials.

Ancient Chinese pin torture/medicine for how to change a girl into a boy.  It seems some not too well intentioned grandparents broke out the voodoo books and metal pins and may have tried their hands at curing that horrible Asian birth defect called femaleatosis.  That particular plague seems to effect 1/2 the population. Anyway, the pin cushion/human voodoo doll torture/cure, did not work as well as they had hoped for.  Sorry grandma and grandpa, still have a granddaughter, maybe they should have removed the pins after a few hours of baby crying and yet no miraculous change in gender.

Here is the original story… Doctors in China have saved the life of a woman who had 26 pins and needles inserted into her body when she was a child in an apparent attempt to change her sex to a boy.

The objects were discovered when the 29-year-old woman, named in local papers as Luo Cuifen, went to hospital for a check-up after she started experiencing blood in her urine.

This story is part of the new news from Rawa. This is sick on so many levels. Afghani teen was tortured for months by husband. I do not know what is worse, that this happened, was allowed to happen, or that there are no consequences to the 40 year old Muslim sick fuc who bought himself a 16 year old bride and tortured her for the next 3 months finally cutting off her nose, boiling her in hot water, cutting off her ears and shaving her head… All because she wanted to do what any teen would want to do, go outside

This little girl… yes 16 years old is a little girl to most people in the civilized parts. Was brutally tortured by the 40 year old pig who bought her from her family. Guess her family didn’t give a shit about who got their baby girl.

How plain sick does a family need to be to sell their child to a wicked monster, a 40 year old at that. They lost a daughter but maybe them fools gained a camel or 2.

“If you love your son, you don’t go easy on his studies. If you love your daughter, you don’t go easy on her footbinding.”

We have all heard our parents tell us they are doing something for “our own good”, but this is ridiculous. A practice started hundreds of years ago and was popular ’till the 1930’s was chinese foot binding.

Basically, it was a procedure started on a small female child to keep her feet from growing. The feet did grow, but became deformed as a result. The would bind the feet for years to make them as close to 3″ as possible. What caused the deformation was that the foot ended up curved with the toes curled under.

It is a practice that weakened the women, made it difficult for them to walk, thus keeping the men in the position of power over them. You can’t run away from the fool on 3″ feet no can ya?

A pair of small feet three inch golden lilies were once the male designated yardstick for feminine beauty in China. A young girl’s feet were broken and bound inwards along the instep, a process that caused excruciating pain. Systematically bound, day after day, the stunted feet began to take on the coveted look of that profoundly sensuous image, the lotus bulb.

Foot Binding started in the Tang Dynasty (618-906), under the emperor Li Yu. He had ordered one of his slave girls to bind her feet and then dance for him. From that day on, foot binding began to become a regular tradition. It became increasingly popular to the upper class in the Song Dynasty (960-1297). Having tiny feet was a sign of beauty and wealth and men were attracted to women with small feet.

another quote

“that the connection between beauty rituals and pain is not accidental: The pain, of course, teaches an important lesson: no price is too great, no process too repulsive, no operation too painful for the woman who would be beautiful. The tolerance of pain and the romanticization of that tolerance begins . . . in preadolescence, in socialization, and serves to prepare women for lives of childbearing, self-abnegation, and husband-pleasing.”

The physical process which created this foot is described by Howard S. Levy in Chinese Footibinding: The History of a Curious Erotic Custom:
“The success or failure of footbinding depended on the skillful application of a bandage around each foot. The bandage, about two inches wide and ten feet long, was wrapped in the following way. One end was placed on the inside of the instep, and from there it was carried over the small toes so as to force the toes in and towards the sole. The large toe was left unbound. The bandage was then wrapped around the heel so forcefully that the heel and toes were drawn closer together. The process was then repeated from the beginning until the entire bandage had been applied. The foot of the young child was subjected to a coercive and unremitting pressure, for the object was not merely to confine the foot but to make the toes bend under and into the sole and bring the heel and sole as close together as physically possible.

Another observer reports:
“The flesh often became putrescent during the binding and portions sloughed off from the sole; sometimes one or more toes dropped off.”

Alum was used to absorb swelling and pus, and one victim describes it this way:
“Every two weeks, I changed to new shoes. Each new pair was one to two tenths of an inch smaller than the previous one. The shoes were unyielding, and it took pressure to get into them…After changing more than ten pairs of shoes, my feet were reduced to a little over four inches. I had been in binding for a month when my younger sister started; when no one was around, we would weep together. In summer, my feet smelled of pus and blood; in winter, my feet felt cold because of lack of circulation… Four of the toes were curled in like dead caterpillars; no outsider would have believed they belonged to a human being.

Yet a story about another 14 year old boy

the boy was apparently demonstrating… hopefully for human rights, however, he was arrested, flogged and imprisoned.

On the bright side… well, if there is one to a child getting flogged amd tortured… At least the kid got to keep his head and did not get a glimpse of that axe to the right.

December 09. 2006 - According to reports from the Organization of Defense of Human Rights in Iranian Kurdistan, the recent series of arrests in the township of Mahabad continues. 14-year-old Shahou Hasanpour and his brother Houshiar are two of the most recent detainees. They were arrested and charged with taking part in the summer 2005 series of demonstrations in Mahabad.

Neither one of the brothers had the benefit of being represented by a lawyer in court. Houshiar was sentenced to 4 months in prison and 50 lashes. .

So what kind of horrific crime can get a punishment such as public torture?

86 lashes in fact, a type of torture that leaves life long scars as reminders of bad deeds. So what did this boy do to get hit with the cane 86 times while the community watched, the event took place in a large square in Tehran. The on lookers were unable to do anything in fear of them being the next one to get caned. But the flogging did attract a large crowd… most of which now, would never brake the boy/girl hand holding law out of fear!

Well…this young man did the unspeakable, he held his girlfriends hand. While the girl may think its charming and cute to hold hands, the government did not. Why worry about murder, robbery, rape, bombers… there are bigger fish to fry here… yes the hand holders… we shall have none of that!

A boy died after being flogged and getting 85 lashes

Most of us can not even understand these types of punishments, Most parents WANT the kids to eat when hungry,  holiday or not. And from what I have read, most religions that use fasting, allow children some wiggle room… but not in this town..

A 14 year old boy died on November 11th, after having received 85 lashes. According to the Mullah judge of the public circuit court in the town of Sanandadj, the boy was guilty of being hungry and breaking his fast during the month of Ramadan.

The Kurdish site Rojeh´heh reports that the young man´s identity has not been disclosed. He was scheduled for burial on Saturday, November 13th, in the cemetery of Beheshteh Mohammadi in Sanandadj. However due to the public´s realization of the events surrounding the boy´s circumstances the cemetery was stormed in protest and his burial did not take place.

The picture to the right is not the boy in question, I could not find any of him, but it shows what 85 lashes may look like and why a child can easily die from being tortured in that way.
