The Fritzl family - Tutoring and Life and McDonalds

Elisabeth worked hard to educate children in cellar

May 21, 2008

London, May 21 (ANI): Austrian cellar mum Elisabeth Fritzls lawyer has revealed that she taught her kids math and grammar while incarcerated in her dads dungeon.

Her lawyer, Christoph Herbst told a Channel 4 documentary that the family lives a more or less regular life in the Austrian hospital where they have been kept since Josef Fritzls secret dungeon was discovered.

“They rise at about six or seven in the morning. Then they have breakfast together, they get the breakfast from the hospital…Then they sit together at a large table and talk, discuss and make jokes, the Telegraph quoted him, as saying.

“Then everybody does their own thing. They play on the computer, they read books, do some drawings, whatever they want…It’s very amazing to watch the family because they behave like a normal family, Herbst added.

He said: “Elisabeth tried to educate the children in the dungeon. They had lessons, they learned grammar, they learned the language, mathematics.

“So they have been raised very well, they are very well behaved…I think Elisabeth tried to give them a structure and a good life under the circumstances in the dungeon.”

Berthold Kepplinger said the tutoring began several days ago. He stressed that the family needs privacy to recuperate and urged paparazzi to stop trying to take photos of them. “This madness has to end,” he said.

Earlier this week, a security guard was injured in a tussle with a photographer. Mr Kepplinger added that the children play computer games, read books and are playing table football.

None of the victims — Elisabeth, her six children and Fritzl’s wife Rosemarie — has been seen in public since the ordeal ended in late April.

Separately, a doctor treating the oldest of Elisabeth’s children, 19-year-old Kerstin, said that the young woman was doing better.

As a result, the medication keeping her in an induced coma, is being slowly reduced, Dr Reiter said. He added that doctors were examining whether to start waking her up.

According to the SUN
Felix Fritzl was thrilled to discover McDonald’s was REAL – after being taken on a secret trip there. The six-year-old – freed from incest dad Josef Fritzl’s dungeon – was told ads he saw on TV for the burger giant were fiction.

Now, how do these people ever lead a life. At best, it will be difficult and painful, with few opportunities. The most likely - complicated, painful, sad, depressing, with fleeting moments of joy.

How. The very first post I did on this - with news of the event, I asked how. I ask it again and quite often during the day, every day - how can people do this. Al Qaida is not as cruel (they are monstrous also, but not for 26 years). How can these things happen so frequently in Austria, Switzerland, Germany ... why and how.

Those questions even more than whether or not there are extra terrestrials, is the question to answer, for humanity cannot fathom the evil that does what he did. He needs to be studied, examined, and then executed.
