Roma couple charged with abduction

[Jimbuna]

AW come on now just look at the resemblance :) :nope:


A Roma couple have been formally charged in Greece with abducting a young blonde girl, and they have been placed in detention pending a trial.
The girl, named Maria, was found during a raid on a Roma camp in central Greece last week.
DNA tests showed that she was not related to the couple, who insist they were given her legitimately.

I pray to God she will be reunited with her natural parents one day.

Saw this on the weekend. Report I read said that the Romas story changed a few times on how the girl came to be with them.

I pray to God she will be reunited with her natural parents one day.
I hope the parents are such that your prayer will not bite you.

Mind you, nobody knows who the parents are - and how the girl ended up with the gypsy couple.

When I look at the photo published I see turmoil in her life but I appreciate that is an easy way to view her already knowing a little of the background.

You are probably right anyhow. I'm just saying. Investigations need to show whether the parents sold the girl, or it got kidnapped. As long as we do not know that, nothing can be ruled out.

Case solved...only unanswered question now is how they came about getting the girl.


DNA tests have confirmed a Bulgarian Roma couple as the biological parents of mystery child Maria, found in Greece last week, Bulgarian officials say.
They identified the couple as Sasha Ruseva and Atanas Rusev.
The officials are investigating whether the mother had sold the child - a claim she has denied.
Maria was found at a Roma camp in central Greece. Police noticed the lack of resemblance between the blonde girl and the adults she was staying with.
The couple, Christos Salis and Eleftheria Dimopoulou, have since been charged with child abduction. They have insisted the girl was given to them legitimately.

I feel sorry for that little girl!

[Jimbuna]

I'm wondering if she has ever had any sense of who her parents were or are.

[eddie]

Probably not, sadly.
