the price of love? French girl Blanche was imprisoned by her mother for 25 years, with rubbish as a companion of cockroaches and mice

Is the child an independent individual or the private property of his parents? I think most people will choose the former; but there are also some control parents who think that their children are their own private property.

Controlling parents will control their children's words, deeds and life direction in the name of love, and will not tolerate the slightest dissent.

120 years ago, in France in 1901, there was a terrifying and heinous case caused by the desire for control:

A well-known and well-known lady who was enthusiastic about public welfare The benevolent person, Mrs. Monnier, imprisoned his biological daughter Blanche for 25 years.

's long-term imprisonment has resulted in the originally young and beautiful Blanche becoming a spirit of living in the dark all day long, accompanied by mice and cockroaches, eating corrupt food, and sleeping in his own excrement. patient.

Things have to start in the summer of 1901: The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it takes longer and longer for people to open windows for ventilation and heat dissipation.

But in Poppier, France, the neighbors of Mrs. Monnier are very distressed. In the attic of Mrs. Monnier’s house, a disgusting and unpleasant smell often wafted from time to time.

Not only that, but there are often moans and howls between women and trapped beasts, coming from Madame Monnier's attic.

This smell makes the scalp numb,The terrible sound of hair standing upside down, which can penetrate far in the middle of the night, is especially frightening.

The undisturbed and suspicious neighbor wrote an anonymous report letter and sent it to the office of the Attorney General of Paris, France, on May 23, 1901.

Part of the content of this anonymous report letter is as follows:

"Mr. Attorney General: I solemnly inform you of a very serious matter. In Popier City 21span Popier City Street, Mrs. Monnier’s house, a girl has been imprisoned for 25 years.

This girl has been living in rotten garbage and her own excrement for the past 25 years, living in filth. An unbearable life.

Looking at this unsigned letter, the Attorney General was both surprised and suspicious. He knew the person being reported, the 75-year-old Mrs. Louise Monnier.

Mrs. Monnier was born a nobleman. Her husband, Emile Monnier, was the dean of a local art school and died in 1879.

Mrs. Monnier had a son and a daughter with her husband. His son Marcel Monnier is a graduate of law school, and his daughter Blanche Monnier was once a celebrity in social circles.

Blanche Monnier has a big pair Bright beautiful eyes, thick and shiny blonde hair,Is recognized as a happy and humorous girl.

But 25 years ago, Blanche Monnier suddenly disappeared. According to her mother, she eloped with a man she liked.

Looking at the report letter that did not seem like a prank, and thinking of the beautiful girl Blanche Monnier who mysteriously disappeared 25 years ago, the Attorney General felt flustered and felt a chill.

The Attorney General immediately contacted the local police and asked them to go to Mrs. Monnier’s villa to conduct a thorough search to verify the authenticity of the report.

When the police came to Mrs. Monnier’s residence, they explained their intentions. There was no trace of panic on Mrs. Monnier's dignified and chubby face, and she appeared extremely calm.

This made the police in charge of the search uncontrollable. But where the responsibilities came, he could only bite the bullet and do the job. After

expressed their due apologies to Mrs. Monnier, the police began to inspect the villa house by house.

The population of Monnier's family is simple, only Mrs. Monnier and her son, plus a few servants. The search soon came to an end, and nothing suspicious was found.

When the police were preparing to evacuate, a police officer suddenly reminded that the attic has not been searched. The policeman turned and turned upwards.

When the police walked up to the narrow stairs leading to the attic, they were stopped by a solid gate.A huge iron lock hung on the door.

The police asked the servants who followed to open the lock, but the servant refused to open the lock on the excuse that the attic had been abandoned for a long time and there was no one in and out of it for a long time.

The police looked at the iron lock that was not rusty, and obviously opened the lock frequently, and knew that the servant was lying. At this time, the police had a foreboding that the crime was hidden behind the iron lock.

It is better to ask yourself. The police quickly broke the iron lock and boarded the attic. The door of the attic was still tightly closed by iron locks, but even through the heavy wooden door, there was still an unpleasant smell coming out.

After the police broke through the door, they entered the small attic. The moment the door was opened, the policeman was almost stunned.

An unpleasant stench that can't be described in words rushed towards him. If it were not for their duties, the police might instinctively cover their noses and flee immediately.

After adjusting to a few seconds, the policeman walked into the attic with his breath. There was no light in the attic except for the light through the wooden door.

It took a while for the police to adapt, and then, based on memory, found the location of the attic window. There were curtains that were as heavy as the walls, covered with thick dust.

Several policemen endured the nausea that was about to gush out, and worked together to pull the curtains down. With the flying dust, the sun also shined in.

Only then did the police see clearly, in the small attic,There is a big bed, and there is a skeleton-like person on the bed, staring at the police with panic and hollow eyes, and making a "woooo" sound in his mouth.

Even the well-informed policeman was stunned by everything in front of him: the person on the bed was naked, covered only by a shabby and dirty blanket.

Around the bed are the food residues that rot and dry up, and the hard crust formed by the excrement over the years has formed a high "protection circle".

There are wriggling maggots all over the bed, crawling comfortably on the person without restraint; seeing the police hesitate for a while, and the mice that escaped everywhere, it means that they have not seen a creature like a human for a long time.

The disgusting environment prevents the police from staying for long. They used that dirty blanket to hug the unrecognizable person from the attic.

Seeing the policeman walking down the attic and seeing the skeleton-like person in the policeman's arms, Mrs. Monnier only glanced coldly, then continued to calmly hold the teacup.

was the person in the arms of the police. Seeing Mrs. Monnier, she shrank and uttered a few whimpers of fear, and bury her head deeper in the blanket with difficulty.

It has been verified that this skeleton-like woman is the daughter of Mrs. Monnier who disappeared strangely 25 years ago. She was once known for her beauty, Blanche Monnier.

Blanche, who was once beautiful as a flower and favored by countless men,After 25 years of imprisonment, not only did he grow old, but he also had a mental disorder, lost his language ability, and his weight dropped to an incredible less than 25 kilograms.

Blanche’s tragic experience aroused great indignation. People can’t believe why Mrs. Monnier, who has always shown her enthusiasm for public welfare, should treat her biological daughter like this?

As the case goes on, the truth about Blanche’s imprisonment by his mother gradually emerges:

The true Madame Monnier is not as kind and gentle as she appeared to the world .

Mrs. Monnier is actually a very controlling person. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Monnier, who was in charge of the house alone, became even worse.

Mrs. Monnier has a strong desire to control. She wants to control everything about her son Marcel and daughter Blanche. She let her son choose the subject she thinks is the best-law; As a mother, Mrs. Monnier had already planned her life for her children. Her son was a lawyer and her daughter married a wealthy family.

Mrs. Monnier successfully controlled her son. Marcel graduated from law school with honors and became an excellent lawyer;

but Mrs. Monnier Blanche's plan went wrong.Blanche has an outstanding appearance and elegant manners, and many wealthy youths of the right age have thrown rose branches to her.

Mrs. Monnier thought that her daughter Blanche would have a discerning eye, and she chose a noble son from among the many wealthy children, who would shine in the family and maintain aristocratic style.

But those dudes who can only go in and out of the sensual place did not get into Blanche's eyes. When Blanche was 25, he met a lawyer who was much older than him and had a poor family background.

Blanche fell in love with the older lawyer at first sight, and then decided to live forever. But their emotions, unsurprisingly, drew strong opposition from their mother, Madame Monnier.

In order to fight for the freedom of love, there were fierce conflicts between Blanche and his mother again and again, of course, only within the family.

Love is like a flood, and blockage will only accelerate accumulation. The more Mrs. Monnier stops, the more rebellious Blanche is. The conflict between the mother and daughter gradually escalated.

Mrs. Monnier, who originally thought that she could kill her daughter's love in the cradle, experienced failure for the first time.

As Blanche and the lawyer met more and more frequently, the story of Blanche and the lawyer's love gradually spread in the community, and there were even rumors that Blanche was pregnant with the lawyer's child.

Madame Monnier, who felt betrayed by her daughter, was angry. One night while her daughter was asleep, she instructed her servant to forcibly drag her daughter to the attic.The door was locked.

's mother's imprisonment behavior made Blanche very angry. She argued against her mother based on reason and tried all means, including a hunger strike, and threatened not to give in.

But Blanche resisted, only to get a few unfeeling sneers from his mother through the locked attic door.

Mrs. Monnier told Blanche that she could be free only if she promised to give up the relationship and promised to never see the poor lawyer again.

's message to his mother, Blanche refused without hesitation. Perhaps the young Blanche was young and vigorous and did not expect serious consequences;

Perhaps in Blanche's heart, she thought that her mother loved her after all and would not watch her suffer. But she did not expect that from that day on, she would no longer be free.

It was not until 25 years later that Blanche was finally rescued by the police. And the beautiful girl praised by everyone at the time has become an old woman who has lost her normal mind and consciousness and is dying.

After Blanch was imprisoned, Mrs. Monnier strictly ordered her son and servants not to leak news. And the stair door leading to the attic was also locked, and thick curtains were hung on the windows of the attic.

Outside, Mrs. Monnier claimed that her daughter was missing.

In view of the distinguished status of Mrs. Monnier, she has always had a good reputation,And the rumors about Blanche's lifelong private life, people believed Mrs. Monnier's words.

Far away, the attic is as deep as the sea. Right under people's eyes, the poor girl Blanche was imprisoned by her biological mother for 25 years!

After the incident, Mrs. Monnier was arrested soon, but she refused to admit that her imprisoning her daughter was harmful to her, instead she always emphasized her deep love for her daughter.

Perhaps in Mrs. Monnier's heart, she really believes that her careful arrangements for her children are true maternal love.

Mrs. Monnier did not realize that her so-called love is actually the desire to control. Many people have the desire to control, but under normal circumstances it does not cause harm.

The desire for control that is so serious that it deprives people of freedom at will, like Mrs. Monnier, is already a psychological disorder. It's a disease, it can be cured.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Monnier did not have this opportunity. After 15 days in prison, Mrs. Monnier suffered a heart attack and died.

On her deathbed, Mrs. Monnier murmured to herself: My beloved daughter Blanche, my favorite daughter. Irony?

As the insider of Blanche's imprisonment, Blanche's brother Marcel Monnier was also arrested. The judge in the first instance ruled that Marcel knew not to plead guilty.

But Marcel filed an appeal. In the second instance, Marcel gave full play to his professional expertise,All the faults were pushed to the mother, Mrs. Monnier, with a clever tongue.

Marcel told the judge that his mother, Mrs. Monnier, is a very strong person. He has lived under his mother's lewdness since he was a child and dare not resist.

Regarding the imprisonment of his sister Blanche, he said that he did not do nothing. He once interceded with his mother for his sister, but was rejected by his mother and threatened.

Marcel said that he had never abused Blanche, and often sent food and newspapers to his sister. Doing his best to provide Blanche with the help he can.

At the same time, Marcel told the judge that his sister Blanche had mental problems. During the 25 years imprisoned by her mother, she never resisted or tried to escape.

Although a servant proved that Blanche fought fiercely during the first few years of his imprisonment, and tried to escape several times, but it ended in failure every time.

But for some reason, these testimonies were not accepted by the judge. In the end, Marcel Monnier became the biggest winner of Blanche's imprisonment case.

Not only did Marcel Monnier not be held accountable, he also inherited all the property of the Monnier family.

Although Marcel escaped legal sanctions, he could not escape his infamous end. His daughter's betrothed marriage also died because of the scandal.

The Marcel family later left Poppier,Incognito, nowhere to be found.

Although suffering decades of devastation, Blanche has a strong desire to survive. Under the treatment and meticulous care of the medical staff, the weight has been increased and the physical condition has gradually improved.

Later, Blanche recovered part of his language ability. It's just that Blanche's spirit never returned to normal.

After being rescued, Blanche lived in a nursing home for 12 years. Blanche in recuperation is quiet and timid, and she is happy with many small things in daily life.

A warm and soft mattress, a brand-new clothes, will make Blanche's eyes flash with excitement.

Blanche, who has regained his language ability, often looks at the plants and trees outside the window, each flower one flower, and sincerely sighs-how cute they are.

But only one thing, until the last moment of Blanche's life, was very repulsive, and that was light.

Perhaps in Blanche’s 25 years of inhuman imprisonment, with the light that penetrated when the attic opened, it has been linked to the demon mother and became Blanche’s lingering nightmare.

Blanche’s beloved lawyer boyfriend, after Blanche’s bizarre disappearance, searched for fruitless, melancholy and became ill. He has passed away more than ten years ago.

After Mrs. Monnier learned of the lawyer’s death,Blanche's freedom has not been restored, showing how hypocritical her motherly love is.

In order to pursue the freedom of love, the life of the beautiful girl Blanche was ruined by her mother who has a strong desire for control.

Mrs. Monnier's so-called deep maternal love, described as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, probably does not violate peace, right?
