I did think that the bedrooms as far too tidy for a child!

The only reason or there to be so many different stories about the child's origin is that there is something to hide.

Now if a child was just handed over to the family, so without any formal adoption, would she be taken away from the family? Maybe that's what they are scared of - if she was just given away.

Bedroom was....

Damn my fat fingered typing!

IrnBruTheNoo · 21/10/2013 17:19

"I think the bedroom is a set up."

First thing I thought when I saw the photo.

IrnBruTheNoo · 21/10/2013 17:20

Surely if she was 'adopted' unofficially that equates to child abduction then?

nicename · 21/10/2013 17:23

I'm not sure. If a parent gave the child to this couple and said "take the child" that's not really technically abduction is it? I can't see this happening, especially both parents giving consent.

IrnBruTheNoo · 21/10/2013 17:24

Will have to wait it out over the next few weeks to see what happens. Very keen to know what happens to Maria next.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24605954 The social workers think there may have been more than sending little Maria out dancing. Sad

IrnBruTheNoo · 21/10/2013 19:32

What a tragedy, poor girl must be wondering what on earth is going on just now. :(

BerstieSpotts · 21/10/2013 20:07

The bedroom and shoe thing is bizarre. Looks like they've panicked and got people to rally round setting up "children's stuff".

If you only had one bedroom, you wouldn't fill it with a carpet and drawing stuff. You'd all sleep in there.

:(

deepfriedsage · 21/10/2013 21:03

They must think we are not very bright to fall for the fake bedroom. I didn't realise that was the only bedroom in the house. It is as bad as the story the biological father turned up a few days ago

YoureBeingADick · 21/10/2013 21:07

Or perhaps they are not very bright themselves- i would imagine education levels amongst roma are very poor.

Is the link with the bedroom/ shoe info on this thread?

BerstieSpotts · 21/10/2013 21:18

Yes it's one of the mail ones.

IrnBruTheNoo · 21/10/2013 21:27

It really does look like they've panicked once they got found out and made a real show of it with the bedroom. What small child's bedroom looks like that on a typical day?? With the pencils strategically placed on a rug? As if.

BerstieSpotts · 21/10/2013 21:29

Unless the mail photographer put them there to make them look stupid?? Although they might be police photos.

IrnBruTheNoo · 21/10/2013 21:29

The adoptive father does looks a few sandwiches short of a picnic. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought this when the mugshots were released.

IrnBruTheNoo · 21/10/2013 21:30

"Unless the mail photographer put them there to make them look stupid??"

Aye, stranger things have happened right enough...

ZZZenagain · 21/10/2013 22:42

now that they have found out she is 5-6 and not 4, I suppose the 8 families whose dna they are comparing to Maria's cannot be her relatives after all

YoureBeingADick · 21/10/2013 22:52

Its interesting that although she has been 'aged' at 5-6 the roma people are saying she was left with them as a newborn in 2009.

deepfriedsage · 21/10/2013 23:14

Now, no need for that, he may be the brains of the operation for all we know.

deepfriedsage · 21/10/2013 23:19

Dick, they seriously must think we will fall for this for some reason. It seems to be the couple and who ever set the bedroom and bio Father story up. They think we are stupid.

YoureBeingADick · 21/10/2013 23:55

I think they are very naive to think it will convince anyone. But i guess they are very desperate to not be found out for whatever the truth is.

cranberryorange · 22/10/2013 13:15

A child has been found in Dublin who interpol are now trying to identify. She's a young teenager but it makes you wonder just how many children are being moved around the world and used and abused.

Maybe Marias story is just the tip of a very big iceberg.

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 22/10/2013 13:32

Bbc have this story of a blonde child found with Roma who aren't her parents in Dublin. She's younger than a teen though, 7.

YoureBeingADick · 22/10/2013 13:33

at 14-16 i'm sure that girl knows her name to write it down. why haven't they gotten a translator? (it really wouldn't be hard to identify what language she was speaking) 10 days and they haven't done this? Confused

CatAmongThePigeons · 22/10/2013 13:37

Maybe she cannot talk? The communication in pictures is telling.
