There was a young girl in Austria who was kidnapped while walking on her way to school. She was ten years old at that time. Though intensive search by the policemen, she was nowhere to be found. That was the year 1998. Last week, after 8years in the confinement of her kidnapper, she was able to flee. Now, she’s 18. She was kept and held incognito by the authorities to protect her from the mass media and curious mob who were just too excited to know her story and to see how she look like as well. Computer-made photos based on her last pictures before she disappeared 8 years ago were the only one published in the papers as to speculate how she might have looked like now as a young lady. The authorities and a psychologist who is helping her recover from all her mental, emotional and physical stress and likewise guiding her back to normal life and society, were her only company at the moment. Her parents who all those years when she was lost, didnt gave up their hope of finding her again, who were davastated, got sick and ruined because of the worries about the disappearance of the daughter, were just been given two times access to the beloved kid. The psychologist said the young lady isn’t prepared yet for too much emotions. She should recuperate first and be left alone. Why the hell?! She was already left alone by herself for 8 years! Didn’t this psycho think that the girl might have missed her family and that she could recover faster in the confinement of her love ones? Anyways, this only happens in europe where authorities have more to say as to how the parents should bring up their children. Feelings are alien in this continent. I think my father will box his way to getting me back home again if that will happen to me.

During her first public appearance and interview yesterday, she said she was held captured in a small basement shaft under the garage, where no one can hear her even if she cry on top of her lungs. But instead of losing hopes, she made the best out of her situation. She educate herself by reading and secretly plan her escape. She was fully aware that once her escape didn’t succeed, she can never get out of the basement again. That’s why she played his game, and do patiently all what the culprit say until he fully trusted her. Maybe he thought after so many years her will was already bent and she blindly accepted him now as her protector. So he started taking her in the grocers, let her help him do the household etc. Only when he’s not home should she return in her prison. The long-awaited chance to escape came when, while she was cleaning his car in the garage, his phone rang. Because the vacuum cleaner was too loud, he walked away from the car and turned his back from her. Voila! This is now the spectacular run for her life that she has been waiting for. She run through the gardens of the neighborhood, climbed over the fences and asked the next couple that came her way to call the police. Unfortunately these people didn’t have a mobile phone so she continue running till she saw an open window and inside was a woman doing something in the kitchen. She call the attention of this person and told her her name, that she was the missing child and so on. The neighbor hastily informed the authorities and in just few minutes the police recovered her. So what happened to the kidnapper? Well, what do you expect from cowards who can only intimidate kids? He drived to the next train station, lie down on the tracks and let the next speedy train roll over his sinful, bestialic, rotten body!!

Such a kidnap story is one of a kind. It didn’t happen yet that the kidnapped person re-appear after years of absence. The girl grew up into a beautiful young lady and her interview showed her as an eloquent speaker, matured and intelligent person. I was amazed by this because i love stories with happy ending….
