In all seriousness, isn't https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natascha_Kampusch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natascha_Kampusch qualifying for the record?

Which record? It looks like she had contact and interaction with her captor every single day.

Considering the context, no.

Seems the "Captivity" sections goes into more depth about why she probably doesn't hold the record: > For the first six months of her captivity, Kampusch was not allowed to leave the chamber at any time, [...] Afterward, she spent increasing amounts of time upstairs in the rest of the house, > In later years, she was seen outside in the garden alone Seems she wasn't underground for the entire duration.

  The sibling comment, linking to the Fritzl case was even more horrifying, heart-breaking and depressing. I read one of the “See Also” links but I had to stop there. I don’t know how police, jurors, therapists, health care workers and anyone else who has to deal with these kinds of issues as part of their job deal with the vicarious trauma.

    And yet, both you and I fell down the rabbit hole. This kind of material is both sickening and addictive.

Wouldn't Fritzl's victims beat that by like 20 years? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritzl_case https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritzl_case Disturbingly, also Austrian...

  > Fritzl, who received a life sentence, will be eligible for parole in 2023, having served the initial 15 years of his sentence Even though I’m usually against moves towards longer sentences, reading this was actually quite disturbing.

    "Eligible" doesn't mean he'll actually be paroled, presumably some committee will have to decide if he can be released. It seems like a fine policy to allow the potential for parole while still keeping some convicts in jail if necessary.

      Keeping an 88-year-old violent criminal in jail could not be considered "necessary" by any definition other than a pure appeal to morality.

        I don't know anything about this particular case, I'm just saying that "eligible" shouldn't be disturbing in any situation because it doesn't mean very much.

        I hope you’re not really being as absolutist and handwavy of people’s concerns as you appear. There isn’t some age cut off (going up) where you are suddenly incapable of harming others. An 88 year old can commit all sorts of heinous acts.

In all seriousness, do you really want to go assigning world records like that to kidnapping victims?
