All the news about Herr Fritzl’s ‘cellar family’ has led a French woman to say she was raped and abused by her father for years, so it’s not just an Austrian habit. Of course this is true, and it makes me even more keen to make sure colleagues visiting people at home keep their eyes open for child abuse, even if their main role is end of life care. We are all responsible.
