Kidnapped Austrian teen 'reserved' towards parents

The young Austrian woman who endured eight and a half years in captivity has adopted a “reserved attitude” toward her parents since her dramatic escape and tearful reunion with her family last week, psychologists treating the teenager said today.

Experts who have been meeting with 18-year-old Natascha Kampusch in Vienna since she bolted to freedom on August 23 said she has been in regular telephone contact only with her mother and has not had any further contact with her father.
