“Today, I know that I regressed psychologically, back to the age of four or five, when a child accepts the world around her as a given.” She said one day she asked Priklopil “to put me to bed properly and tell me a goodnight store. I even asked him for a goodnight kiss. Anything to preserve the illusion of normality.” A year after her abduction, she was given a new name which had the effect of taking away her identity. She chose the name "Bibuane" from a saints calendar, which remained her identity for the next seven years. When she reached puberty she told how behaviour changed. She said he started treating her as if she were "dirty and disgusting" and he started physically and sexually assaulting her. She was also not given enough food.
