An Austrian girl was kidnapped 8 years ago aged 10 and kept in a cellar until her recent escape. Her kidnapper has committed suicide and she is now safe and back in the family home. Imagine the massive trauma for this girl and her family.
Imagine how she and they must feel as the police and the world's media press for intimate details of her abuse in captivity. Listen to the prurience of the newsrooms.
Now, can anyone tell me what anyone will gain from hearing about whether and exactly when and how he ripped her knickers off, and what he did then, and what he did again, and again.
Imagine why they should feel the need to know. Can they prosecute him? Will seeing the details of her abuse spread on front pages and TV screens help her or her parents?
Or do you think as I do that the demand to hear the literal ins and outs of the rape of a 10 year old amounts to yet more seriously damaging abuse?

Yes I do think as you do ,why does the media assume we all have a thirst to hear all about this girls agonising EIGHT years ,we have all got an imagination for Goodness sake ,thank the dear lord her ordeal is over ,.,.,or is it ?,.,.,.,Jan xx
The media is; in a way, prolonging her ordeal. They should leave her alone so she can attempt to get back to a normal life.
