My Comments
Re. Mrs. Andreas M.:
I just returned to the US after living in Austria for a year. It's so crazy about these 3 recent cases of total abuse going on for so many years. It is a very private culture though, and people don't tend to talk to their neighbors (or to anyone outside their immediate social circle for that matter). So disgusting and shocking.
I wanted to correct one small thing in the article. It mentions the girls developed their own secret language in which every sentence ends with the word "but." News did report they had their own secret language, but there is nothing secret about the fact that every Austrian ends many of their sentences with the word 'but," (or more literally "or"). They say "oder?" the same way we would say "Right?" or "Don't you agree?" Nothing too secret about it ,just a cultural difference.
