the centre of an international appeal to uncover her identity

Drew’s post below is mind bending, but not surprising. 

Not surprising either is the subject of this post, when we consider who the ppl are who are involved.
It’s an age old gypsy thing, a never ending story of taking whatever it is they happen to want, no matter what the object of their desire is at the time.  Including children.

For those readers who may not know it, there is nothing out of the ordinary for them by taking babies and young kids.

My grandmother was taken by gypos when she was not quite 2 years old.  Her brothers tracked her down and took her back. And that was in the 1800s.  Just another day in the life for those vermin.

Here’s the story, there are loads of pix and you really should see the whole darn thing.

Btw ....  my wife remarks that as a youngster people used to exercise much caution and keep a close eye on the kids, when gypos came into an area or made a camp in the area.  She remembers neighbors telling one another to keep a close eye as there were gypsies in town.

These are the first photos of the gypsy couple who appeared in court today charged with abducting Maria, a young blonde girl whose identity remains a mystery.

Hristos Salis, 39, and Eleftheria Dimopoulou, 40, have been held in custody pending trial after responding to the charges behind closed doors in Larissa this afternoon.

The couple, who face a sentence of between 10 and 20 years in prison if convicted, deny they snatched the girl and say they took her under their care after her mother handed the girl to them shortly after giving birth.

‘It was an adoption that was not exactly legal, but took place with the mother’s consent,’ Constantinos Katsavos, one of the lawyers representing Salis, told reporters, adding that is what the couple testified in court.

It is ‘well known’ that ‘there is a baby-trade conducted by gipsies between Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and England.’

The couple have told various stories – that she was abandoned by a Bulgarian woman, or found on a rubbish tip – but Mr Yannopoulos said it is more likely she is from Scandinavia.

Yesterday residents of Farsala’s gipsy camp claimed a Bulgarian family had made an arrangement with the couple to look after their daughter since she was a baby.

‘There has been no kidnapping, no robbery, no trafficking,’ insisted her colleague Konstantinos Katsavos, who also represents the couple.

‘They did not buy the child,’ he said.

‘We know the (girl’s) parents are from Bulgaria,’ Marios Sainopoulos, a representative for the Roma community in Greece, told Skai TV on Monday.

‘The mother gave the child away because she could not raise it… the child was not kidnapped,’ he insisted.

Police allege the woman claimed to have given birth to six children in less than 10 months, while 10 of the 14 children the couple had registered as their own are unaccounted for.

Police said the family received more than £7,000 a month in benefits for the children they claimed to have.

Police chief Vassilis Halatsis added that the woman had two separate ID cards and names.

He said: ‘Of the children we have traced so far, just by looking at them you can see that there is very little or no resemblance at all to the parents.

‘It is obvious that we are faced with a very well-organised racket, and it is certainly not the only one.’

THERE IS A LOT MORE HERE. READ ALL.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
