A gruesome story from the Czeck Republic.

Post Reply New Topic

This goes on a par with the Rotenberg story. Here, though, is a problem of underfunding of social assistance. In the Rotenberg there is abundance of financial means.
In the Czeck republic they have discovered that mentally disabled children have been kept in cages for years in foster houses. It was a rather common practice. They found one teenager who had been living in a cage bed for 12 years.
He was sitting upright with his head bowed. He barely moved. Around him were just blank walls and the iron bars of his cage. There was nothing to stimulate his mind, no colourful pictures or posters. The cage was his world.
It was likely that, when a boy was first put in the cage, he would protest, cry and scream, but it wouldn't take long for the protests to give way to despair and depression.
After a while, the captive would simply become compliant and resigned to his fate, because his spirit was broken.

Read the whole story on BBC news.

This reminds me of a website about feral children, which includes children locked away in cages and closets for long periods of time, years even...Just breaks the heart.......

Things like that happened in Russia and Romania, too.

Human Beings are the most cruelest & despicable animal.
