Anyone that thinks he DIDNT take his own life spends way too much time in the internet and really needs to “touch grass”. Like, if you honestly think that guy was murdered, you need to find a way to make your life more fulfilling and stop relying on internet conspiracies to keep you fools b
iirc, an angry mob converged on the house to confront the mother … who allegedly suddenly died of an heart attack.
It sounds like what really happened is that they beat the shit out of her, and blamed her death on a heart attack. French police decided to let it slide.
Juries aren't perfect but will make better decisions than a twitter mob 100% of the time.
You're a genuine halfwit if you think anarchy wouldn't enable angry mobs to organize and murder any persons they disagree with because of something nasty and potentially fake they saw on Facebook.
Anarchy is simply libertarian socialism, it’s really not the same definition as a borderless and disorganized state. It’s not a society that lives mad max style without establish rules and norms, it simply lacks central authority. There’s lots of theory and lots of types, and it is idealistic like all forms of government.
Lol "recall correctly" you've just read that off of Wikipedia right now just like the rest of us, you also seemed to have misread it and misquoted it, the mother died 15 days later. You have also made up nonsense.
I think there is a case for trafficking people that just don’t exist. Steal up women, they have babies, they are not documented, and it repeats.
It’s a scary thought that could be all too real somewhere
>they have babies, they are not documented
I saw a Cyber security agent breaking down in an interview iirc. He described what he'd seen done to a newborn in a scenario like that.
The description still lives rent free in my head.
I saw an interview once with a woman who was a sex slave and had just been rescued. She talked about how some captors would intentionally get their "slaves" (human trafficking victims) pregnant so that they could raise the babies as sex slaves/prostitutes. She explained that she could tell if a new woman (being chained up near her) was a kidnapped victim or a born-into-it sex slave because the kidnapped women would scream and cry, especially when they were being raped and the born-into-it girls would just stare off and be silent. I saw this years ago but can remember it well despite having a bad memory. Some things just shock the brain.
Geez when you think about, which I never have before, I could only imagine that this probably happened so much! Past slave owners coming up with the radical idea of just having children with the slaves just for sex! And of course to sell and make money. The more I learn the way of the world the more I’m scared for my children
I was scared that’s what my ex was gonna do to me and my baby (which hadn’t been born yet), which is how I ended up in refuge etc, he didn’t want me to go to X-rays or whatever they are or doctors appointments, and wanted me to put down a different address for my welfare payments, so I ran
Or in this case, less.
This wasn't somebody locked away as a prisoner. She was a mentally ill shut-in who was neglected. Her mother refused to send her to a 1800s mental asylum (shocking) and didn't have the resources or inclination to take proper care of her.
I wouldn't characterize this situation as evil so much as..incredibly sad.
Agreed. I did a deep dive podcast episode on it last year. There is so much misinformation about this situation. She was seriously mentally ill, and her parents, although flawed, wanted to keep her at home, rather than place her in an asylum, which was one of the worst outcomes for anyone in the late 19th century.
Her mother was extremely controlling, and likely also was mentally ill in a different way, and as she got older, failed her daughter. Blanche didn't get the care she needed and became woefully neglected. It's a very sad story, but the story I see repeated so often is not the full one.
I thought the story is she wanted to marry someone her parents didn’t approve of and this was the result. Half the story or just wrong story to picture?
There isn't any evidence that she was engaged, but she may have been. She had a friendship with a local man, a lawyer, but he wasn't penniless, as the story suggests. In fact, her brother was also a lawyer, so it was a reputable occupation. A man was named as her supposed fiancé, but it wasn't proven if this was the case or not.
Apparently, Blanche was displaying religious delusions and hallucinations before she was locked away. She was later diagnosed with anorexia and schizophrenia. Her father died a few years after Blanche had been locked away, and the family weren't near destitute so that they would need a good marriage match. But there was certainly a social stigma around having a mentally ill family member. Evidence from the trial suggests that Blanche's confinement was an open secret among household staff, but that they were sworn to.secrecy once they left the house.
I'm not saying the usually-described story isn't immoral. I'm saying it's fictional. The specific "type of person" being described does not exist in this instance.

I don’t think he’s in physical condition to thrive in prison at this point. Other inmates are going to figure out who he is and dole out some unofficial justice.
He’s almost 90, and notorious in his country. He’s not going to make any friends in there, and he’ll be an easy target. He’s got dementia and other ailments too. Even if he’s in a comparatively cushy environment it’s still prison. Hopefully he’ll die soon; his continued existence is probably not great for his victims’ mental health, and the thought of his possible release every time he gets a parole hearing has to be very stressful for them.
People in minimum security often do not want to do anything to get sent to higher security prisons, especially the ones who graduated from higher security to lower security and know what it is like.
You may get prison justice meted out by those in maximum security, but lower security is a whole other ball game.
That's not to say that it is all roses and sunshine, but people in minimum security aren't going to shank you generally. They actually have a reason to play ball.
He might be shunned or avoided, but chances are that if he's not already spending time in the prison hospital area, he's left alone.
This isn’t cruelty, it’s just science. You can’t know what the consequences of locking someone up for 30 years is going to be until you try it, so a good scientist has to take on the burden.
It happens literally every day. I just saw a story about a mentally ill prison inmate who was covered in 30 or 40 pounds of bedbugs when they pulled his body out. They sent him to the morgue like that. Imagine being mentally ill and in solitary and dying by having every your body covered in bugs all drinking your blood and you’re covered in shit head to toe.
I saw on reddit yesterday that a man in Algiers missing since 1996 was just found a few blocks away from home in a neighbors torture dungeon. He was assumed killed or missing in the war and had actually been kidnapped and just up the road.
https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/5SdgMuI1eW
Apparently by 'yesterday' I meant 'less than an hour ago, but this day feels so long, an hour seemed like a day ago'.
Yes, I saw it too. She was mentally ill or intellectually disabled, maybe both. Parents left her to basically rot on the couch, her body became infused to the couch. She’d just pee and poop in the same spot. I think she was like this for over 20 years before she died.
Happens every day. There's a famous case of a feral child called Genie who was locked up and never socialized.
Another girl in Norway or Scandinavia somewhere was locked in a basement and raped by her father and had his children until she was like 20 and escaped.
You may be thinking of Josef Fritzl in Austria, who locked his 18 year old daughter in the family basement and kept her enslaved for 24 years. She had 6 surviving children, three were brought upstairs and raised by the grandparents as "foundlings." It wasn't until one child left in the cellar was dying and brought to the hospital by Josef that the police were called and everything came crashing down. He's old but in prison for life.
Jesus. I was actually held in a room for 6 months. By the time I got out I was so traumatized you couldn’t come near me. The expression on that woman’s face, her frail frame… honestly, it’s likely the solitary that messes with your head. There is no way this woman could recover from this. Not in her lifetime.
*I got out of the room 3 years ago.*
Thank you for sharing your experience here. I was confined for what was supposed to be the entire summer but thankfully my friend’s parents *convinced* my parents to let me go after several weeks. What changed their minds? Threat of jail.
In that situation I realized I was so fortunate to have someone on the outside. They learned some lessons about what not to do when I did report them.
Wow. That’s truly terrible. I’m sorry that happened to you. I had no one on the outside snd 30 useless police reports. Support is so important, and it’s most important after the event. I hope you were way to process that experience and continue on a healthy path. 💫
Wish u healing well a new world for you to discover :) and recover and thrive :) no love should be locked away but explore her and or his heart of the world they missed
[this is what she had looked like before this ](https://www.thephotoalchemist.biz/post/blanche-monnier-a-tragic-french-socialite-who-was-locked-in-a-dark-room-for-25-years)
This adds so much context. The original article is bizarre. She was schizophrenic and doctors knew she was there. Her brother would keep her company. She was clearly neglected and not kept clean but I'm not sure they had imprisoned her necessarily.
It sounds like she had a full time nurse who washed and cared for her, and even slept in her room. Blanche didn’t become encrusted in filth until her nurse died and her mom wouldn’t hire someone else. Her mom just told the maid to do it, and eventually the maid would quit.
The mother just straight up died after having been found guilty and faced NO consequences... thats just wrong man.
People like her should be fed honey, tied down to a tiny boat and set adrift on a murky river
Supposedly a mob showed up to her house
.... something happened...
And she died of a heart attack?
Nah. I like to believe she got what she was due. The old fashioned way.
This doesn't have anything to do with slang. Would've could've should've are perfectly acceptable universal colloqialisms but however your neck of the woods choses to pronounce them, they still are spelled would've could've should've and spelling them with an of is only proving that the speller has a total disregard of the english writing system. Why not write ghoti instead of fish, heck why doesn't everyone just use the letters they like the most. Screw intelligability, the main purpose of communication.
Just look at some of the distinguishing features. There’s a beauty mark on this photo by the nose, but it’s not there on the photo of Blanche. The nose shape, while possibly distorted from the severity of her starvation, seems to be a totally different shape than the nose in this photo.
I don’t know who this photo is of, but basic media literacy shows the woman in this photo and the photo of Blanche are not the same person.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Postcard\_Young\_Woman\_with\_Flowers.jpg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Postcard_Young_Woman_with_Flowers.jpg)
The file is in public domain because it's more than 70 years old, allegedly dated 1914. It's why the re-re-bloggers keep using it for click-baity things, because nobody has a "rare before photo of Blanche Monnier" from like 1860. They always seem to crop out the watermark at the bottom (for some reason!)
Keep your heads on tight folks. It's only gonna get worse as AI gets better.
"Rare video of Joan of Arc recently uncovered!"
Just a heads up for research purposes. You can't really trust Google sources as absolute facts. Academic journals and records are the best sources. Google websites can just be wrong people copying and listening to other wrong people
I literally went to so many websites and found the same photo, that's why I trusted that this was her, because more than one was saying it. I now realize the internet is much more diabolical than I knew
That story is not even close to this one. Baby Jane was a child star who was exploited bynher family for money. She grew up to be an alcoholic and resented caring for her wheelchair bound sister who she tried to kill out of jealousy.
This is her [before](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ebb9b5_99cbf36fe3674050b05f33d6d73a4611~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_980,h_1476,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/ebb9b5_99cbf36fe3674050b05f33d6d73a4611~mv2.png)
All because she wanted to marry a guy she liked,
Dear Mr and Mrs Minnier: if you liked that other guy so badly, then why didn’t you marry him, and let your daughter marry the guy she loved, and you both will be happy.
Sincerely- the rest of the world.
How do we know this picture is real? Not trying to doubt the veracity of this story but I’ve seen it on the internet for years and the sources are always another social media post. It seems oddly clear for a picture taken in like 1899.
The door was padlocked but, she was “free to leave anytime” according to the brother. So sickening
How did he explain how she could leave when the door was locked?
Ever heard of houdini
Hou?
Fred Flintstone's pet .... dog
😂
Hu?
this has me chuckling, thank you

What dini you mean?
The song?
The same way a former Boeing employee can shoot themselves in the back of the head.

“That’s why I shot myself, chopped myself up, threw myself in the garbage, and took the garbage out to the curb.”
💀
Anyone that thinks he DIDNT take his own life spends way too much time in the internet and really needs to “touch grass”. Like, if you honestly think that guy was murdered, you need to find a way to make your life more fulfilling and stop relying on internet conspiracies to keep you fools b
By the looks of her she could escape through a crack in the wall.
Suicide
That’s what he said? I read an article and it didn’t seem like he was that cruel
No that was just my speculation
It’s her mom. I have Asperger’s but has had the deep misfortune of being born with a vagina. It’s the maternal line of parent or child offspring.
Not so fun fact: Neither the mother or the brother faced any real consequences
iirc, an angry mob converged on the house to confront the mother … who allegedly suddenly died of an heart attack. It sounds like what really happened is that they beat the shit out of her, and blamed her death on a heart attack. French police decided to let it slide.
Finally a fun fact
That truly is something everyone can enjoy
Im for her dying great day for the daughter:)
The article said the heart attack was after an evening in jail; I like yours better
She died two weeks later, her health was whack before this.
Whack is good, or bad ? Sorry, I exist in a different error
Whack is bad.
Bad
The French do love a good mob.
Did the brother also accidentally fall multiple times on a knife after the crowd showed up?
Please tell me this is true
I love french people
She died two weeks later
This is proof that anarchy is the best system imo, people can govern themselves and we don’t need police.
And when the angry mob shows up at the wrong person's house and beats them to death, what then?
Then we beat the angry mob
It's angry mobs all the way down
We’re gunna need a bigger mob…
Or when a jury lets a guilty man free and puts an innocent man behind bars?
Juries aren't perfect but will make better decisions than a twitter mob 100% of the time. You're a genuine halfwit if you think anarchy wouldn't enable angry mobs to organize and murder any persons they disagree with because of something nasty and potentially fake they saw on Facebook.
Anarchy is simply libertarian socialism, it’s really not the same definition as a borderless and disorganized state. It’s not a society that lives mad max style without establish rules and norms, it simply lacks central authority. There’s lots of theory and lots of types, and it is idealistic like all forms of government.
Hell yeah! No more bedtimes!
So in other words. In real life it would turn to a shitshow like communism does.
I think they are much more shorter lived, someone takes power eventually. The peaceful part is the anarchy, but the transition period is violent.
Don’t be stupid
Lol "recall correctly" you've just read that off of Wikipedia right now just like the rest of us, you also seemed to have misread it and misquoted it, the mother died 15 days later. You have also made up nonsense.
The mother died like two days after she was discovered, so that one is at least easy to understand. But the brother being allowed to just roam free…
The brother seemed to have the same psychiatric disorder, Diogenes syndrome, though to a lesser degree.
Why not
Some humans are just sick as fuck. And the fact that 2 people of pure evil find each other and procreate is rather astonishing.
Well I think it’s scarier that there’s probably more people like that than we think
I think there is a case for trafficking people that just don’t exist. Steal up women, they have babies, they are not documented, and it repeats. It’s a scary thought that could be all too real somewhere
Yo don't give anyone ideas goddamn
“Don’t give anyone ideas” This is going on in the world somewhere right now. This isn’t an idea, this is something that’s been happening.
Lol I know...

No, there was actually a faith healer who did that. John of God or something. He was on Oprah.

Fritzl
He just got moved to a minimum security prison. There is often no justice.
I don’t think he’s in physical condition to thrive in prison at this point. Other inmates are going to figure out who he is and dole out some unofficial justice.
Not in a minimum security prison they’re not.

I read another story about a woman who was literally merged into a hold in the couch. I forget all of the details but much like this story tragically.
Yes, I saw it too. She was mentally ill or intellectually disabled, maybe both. Parents left her to basically rot on the couch, her body became infused to the couch. She’d just pee and poop in the same spot. I think she was like this for over 20 years before she died.

Lacey Fletcher case and details are horrifying. I can’t believe her parents did that to her
Let’s just reflect on how this woman held out for 25 years under those circumstances. Take a moment to count your blessings
It sounds like she had a full time nurse who washed and cared for her, and even slept in her room. Blanche didn’t become encrusted in filth until her nurse died and her mom wouldn’t hire someone else. Her mom just told the maid to do it, and eventually the maid would quit.
Probably the maid who submitted the anonymous tip to police?
thats so so so so so fucking wild
The mother just straight up died after having been found guilty and faced NO consequences... thats just wrong man. People like her should be fed honey, tied down to a tiny boat and set adrift on a murky river
Supposedly a mob showed up to her house .... something happened... And she died of a heart attack? Nah. I like to believe she got what she was due. The old fashioned way.
I hope those" parents" rot in hell
Unbelievably sad story. Human beings are by far the worst animals on the planet.
But some are the best animals on the planet
parents should of been given the same treatment.

They always seem to crop out the watermark at the bottom (for some reason!) Keep your heads on tight folks. It's only gonna get worse as AI gets better. "Rare video of Joan of Arc recently uncovered!"
If I could give you gold I would! Excellent article!
Wow why isn’t this much higher up.
Just a heads up for research purposes. You can't really trust Google sources as absolute facts. Academic journals and records are the best sources. Google websites can just be wrong people copying and listening to other wrong people
I literally went to so many websites and found the same photo, that's why I trusted that this was her, because more than one was saying it. I now realize the internet is much more diabolical than I knew

No that is an actress Maud Fealy
Thank you. Do you know if any photos from before her captivity exist?
Tragic
Is ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’ based on her??
That story is not even close to this one. Baby Jane was a child star who was exploited bynher family for money. She grew up to be an alcoholic and resented caring for her wheelchair bound sister who she tried to kill out of jealousy.
That is such a sad story about her.
Horrifying
25 fuckin years?!
Looks like nal
Stoning should still be a thing for some crimes.
Smash, next question

This is her [before](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ebb9b5_99cbf36fe3674050b05f33d6d73a4611~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_980,h_1476,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/ebb9b5_99cbf36fe3674050b05f33d6d73a4611~mv2.png)
She was a gorgeous woman. I think the mom was subconsciously jealous of her.
Wow she was soooo beautiful
Yes, I agree. If more people clicked the article then theres an old photo of Blanche prior to being locked up. Very sad story.
She really was extremely beautiful before this happened
All because she wanted to marry a guy she liked, Dear Mr and Mrs Minnier: if you liked that other guy so badly, then why didn’t you marry him, and let your daughter marry the guy she loved, and you both will be happy. Sincerely- the rest of the world.
There's not one sane thought behind that poor woman's eyes!😢
Please dont post something like this without an NSFW please....at work and this popped up and no, not good. Thanks.
Is this the sister from Pet Sematary?
How do we know this picture is real? Not trying to doubt the veracity of this story but I’ve seen it on the internet for years and the sources are always another social media post. It seems oddly clear for a picture taken in like 1899.
Taking care of the mentally ill is near impossible, even today with medication the stigma will ruin both your lives.
