Natasha Kampusch

Who educated the young girl Natasha Kampusch, during her 8 years of imprisonment? She seemed most articulate and with a good command of words, and not lacking in confidence, during her recent press interview.

[Gromit]

Her abductor was Wolfgang Priklopil. It is only a wild guess but maybe it was him.

It must have been her captor, Wolfgang Priklopil

It was indeed her kidnapper who educated her. Despite taking her and keeping her captive he apparently educated her quite well ~ reading with her frequently & teaching her basic skills. More than quite a lot of parents do, in fact...

And she had access to a tele didn't she? Possibly not the best educator but would help.

We ought to ask her to sit some GCSEs. I bet she'd get 12 A*. Then again, so would my sister's dog.

i have heard rumours that its all lies

she was not abducted and she ran away with him willingly.

there are a couple of possible things -

he died and she had to leave but she knew she'd be in trouble with her folks so she made this up

he killed himself and then she did as above

or he killed himself because she wanted to leave and he knew he'd get in trouble for going with a minor

she got sick of him and he wouldn't let her leave because he'd be in trouble for her being a child, so she killed him

well basically the theories are all along these lines

i think its because she looks and seems ok after such an ordeal, i expect people think she should be a nervous wreck

any thoughts on this?

[Booldawg]

well thats the benefits of one to one private tuition.

She was a 10 year old child - I don't think it could be seen as anything but kidnapping, even if she was willing
