Shocking judgment: Father condemned - children in fear and horror!

On September 23, 2025, a 49-year-old at the Krems Regional Court was sentenced to seven years in prison. He was convicted of continuing violence against his minor children and stepchildren in the Gmünd district. In the procedure whose guilty is not yet final, the focus is on the serious allegations of the physical abuse and the locking of children. In particular, the abuse between 2009 and December 2023 is said to have taken place.

The victims of this targeted violence include a biological son, a biological daughter, a stepson and a stepdaughter. During his negotiation, frightening details became apparent: the stepdaughter, born in 2001, was locked up in a basement and wooden warehouse from the age of eight. An expert found a post -traumatic stress disorder for which a therapy requirement of three to five years was recommended.

Long -term consequences of violence

The long -term psychological consequences of violence in childhood are well documented. According to the Federal Ministry of Education and Research Measurations in early childhood have significant negative effects on psychobiological development. Studies show that the first lifetime is a sensitive period in which ongoing stressors can lead to "biological stress scars" that impair the functioning of the brain.

The effects of abuse are often evident in the form of emotional and social problems. Affected people often have difficulty managing development tasks, which leads to low self -esteem and problems in contact with their peers. Even in later life, these people are more susceptible to health risk behavior, such as drug use or obesity, and often have difficulty building up intimate relationships or achieving stable professional success.

Legal consequences and victim aid

The defendant rejected the allegations of locking up and strike towards the children, but admitted that he had forced his children to make their knees discipline. His victims were imposed by the court of “claims for damages”, which amounts to a total of 39,100 euros, which is reflected in the enormous psychological and physical damage suffered in these years. Two of the affected children are now in foster care or life with relatives.

The role of the ex-partner of the accused, who was also abused, is part of a further procedure. Your situation illustrates how often violence affects not only children, but the whole family. The case was rolled by an advertisement by the accused's son, which underlines the importance of childish voices in the processing of abuse.

The prospect of positive changes in the treatment of post -traumatic stress disorders, which were caused by abusive relationships in childhood, remains a central concern of psychological research. In an ongoing research project of the Enhance network It is examined how therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma -coexistent methods can be effectively used in the treatment of these complex disorders. It remains to be hoped that such measures will help the victims of abuse give an opportunity for a healthy and fulfilling life.
