Yesterday, we talked about Fritzl, the man from Austria that had his daughter locked up in a cellar for 24 years, where he raped, abused and fathered her seven children all while still being married and having seven other kids with his wife. This case had been presented last year when one of his children were having convulsions and needed to go to the hospital. It was at this time that authorities were contacted because something had seemed to be odd. Fritzl admitted to raping his daughter and keeping his kids captive for all of those years. He may also be convicted of murdering  newborn infant that he fathered with Elisabeth, his daughter, which may very well cause him to be sentenced to life in prison. Fritzl now faces charges of rape, murder, incest, assault, and slave trade.

There are a lot of sick people in this world and we hope that justice will be served.

 A man from Austria named Josef Fritzl, held his daughter in captivity for 24 years and during that time fathered 7 children with her. According to MSNBC, he pleaded guilty to incest but denied murdering a newborn son, in which he was also accused for doing. Fritzl completely understood that by holding these children underground that he was keeping them from their liberty. He did plead innocent though of enslaving his daughter of all these years. He kept his daughter and four of the children in a cellar that he built in his house. Although he was married to a woman named Rosemarie, she never even knew of her husbands acts and the secrets he kept. He did though have 3 of the kids living up above with him. All of this was discovered when one the children living in the cellar became sick and had to go to the hospital. It was at this time authorities were contacted. This case recieved a lot of attention in Austria and for good reasons. There are alot of sick and dangerous people in our world. If this man is convicted for murder of his newborn son than he may be spending life in prison. If convicted of rape he may only spend up to 20 years. 

We will have to wait and see how this case develops.

For so long it was thought that Africa was leading in numbers when it came to the AIDS pandemic. Over the weekend, Washington Post has reported that Washington D.C. is leading over Africa.  Here is what they are reporting, “At least 3 percent of District residents have HIV or AIDS, a total that far surpasses the 1 percent threshold that constitutes a “generalized and severe” epidemic, according to a report scheduled to be released by health officials tomorrow. Our rates are higher than West Africa,” said Shannon L. Hader, director of the District’s HIV/AIDS Administration, who once led the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s work in Zimbabwe. “They’re on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya.”

AIDS is a disease that is becoming more and more prevalent all over the world, not just in Africa and not just in Washington D.C., I believe it is imperative that people starting getting checked and being extra careful on what activities they carry on.

The things we talk about will have a special segment on AIDS/HIV and how it affects us all, directly or indirectly.

Stay tune…..
