A child in Burgenland suffered incessantly painful agony. Her own father is said to have beaten her daughter with a broomstick over and over again over the years. The man in Eisenstadt had to answer for this in court. The defendant pleaded guilty. Now he has to go behind bars.
Whether the supposedly “healthy waddling” or even worse corporal punishment – such “educational methods” are no longer up-to-date and for the protection of children are also prohibited. But a Burgenlander ruthlessly ignored that. He kept beating his own elementary school-age daughter with a broomstick. It was only when the tortured child finally confided in a teacher that the abuse was exposed – report! During the interrogation by the police, the father only admitted a “slip”, all other allegations were made up by his daughter.
Surprising confession
In court in Eisenstadt, the confession followed completely surprisingly. “Yes, he did that. My client takes full responsibility for his actions. He doesn’t know anything else from his own childhood. This is not meant to be an apology, just an explanation. But he is now aware of what he did to his daughter with it, ”said his defense attorney at the start of the process.
The accused accepted the later sentence of 26 months’ imprisonment – ten of them unconditionally -.
