German Family Didn't Let Their Children Outside for 4 Years Out of Fear of Covid (5 photo)
The funniest thing is that the head of the family is a professor of philosophy. It seems he skipped logic at university.
Echo of the pandemic: a German family was discovered in Spain who did not allow their children to leave the house for four years due to fear of contracting coronavirus. According to the media, the unfortunate eight-year-old twins, as well as their 10-year-old older brother, have not been outside for more than 1,200 days.
Their father, 53-year-old Christian, a philosophy professor, and his 48-year-old wife rented a house in the Spanish city of Oviedo in 2021 — at the height of the pandemic and, apparently, went a little crazy amid an avalanche of frightening news about the dangers of the new virus. Since then, they have lived locked up — they never even opened the shutters of the windows, and received food through courier delivery. To understand the level of madness: the children, despite being quite old, walked around the house in medical masks and diapers, since their father set a schedule for going to the toilet. There was no talk of going to school under such a "concentration camp" regime. It is noted that the father of the family earned a living remotely — he worked as a freelance employee in the HR department.
A woman who lived next door complained about a strange house where voices were heard, but its inhabitants were never seen. The police installed a camera in front of the entrance to the house and after a while began to suspect that someone might be held inside against their will. They knocked and an unkempt man opened the door. The version about the kidnapping of people was not confirmed, but they were prepared for such a turn of events and would have been less surprised.
After inspecting the house, it turned out that the children had not seen sunlight and did not have access to the Internet. Their only entertainment was drawing - law enforcement officers saw drawings of monsters and skulls on their beds. Doctors found that the older boy had severe constipation due to the strict toilet schedule.
During interrogations, the parents admitted that they gave the children medications containing medical cannabis. According to them, all their actions were aimed at protecting the children from diseases. Of course, they were not believed. The couple was placed under arrest. Their further fate is unknown. But it is obvious that the investigation will definitely assign them a psychological and psychiatric examination.
