Natascha Kampusch

Natascha Kampusch is an Austrian girl who was kidnapped at the age of 10, in a small village near Vienna. When she was on her way to school, a white van stopped next to her, two man pulled her into the car and she was transported to a house, where her kidnapper had constructed a small and completely isolated room to keep her locked up. Last wednesday, after eight years, she succeeded in escaping.
This whole story keeps all German-speaking countries in a frenzy, since last week the media have been reporting incessantly about this issue...
To me all this has left me wondering what people ( or should I say human beings -even though I would rather refer to animals in that case) are able to do to others... I just hope this girl recovers from what she has gone through!
