    Gardai called to a house in Tallaght in south county Dublin yesterday afternoon after they received a report that the girl was living there with a Roma family.

    Just the start of it in reality. I suspect we're about to discover major child trafficking routes all across Europe.

    I agree. Prostitution is very much up there as a major earner for european criminal gangs.

    You can't tar all Roma with the same brush. I know plenty of decent Roma folk who are here legally and work decent, honest 9-5 jobs.....NOT!!

    All their kids should be taken whether they're kidnapped or not.
    Bringing them out in all kinds of weather using them to aid their begging campaigns and teaching them to pick pocket? Kids be better off with decent families.

    Feel sorry for that poor kid ,her kidnappers are absolute scum but if she spent years with them she thinks of them as her parents and tonight she will be living with strangers

    terrible stuff:(

    I swear, to this day, I'm haunted by something that happened on a bus while in Krakow about 3 years ago.

    A dark-coloured gyspy couple had the most beautiful girl with them. She was about 6, fair-skinned, blue eyed and blonde hair and it was clear her hair had been dyed many times but now had the colour out - her hair was like straw.

    We were outside of the city and 3G was ropey at best, and I couldn't get information for the local police.

    I'm 100% convinced the child was abducted. In retrospect, we could have asked someone on the bus or perhaps the conductor but who was I to ring the police just because I thought a child might be abducted - for all I knew, there was a legit reason for her to be with them.

    Looking at the last two cases in Dublin and Greece, it hits home that I should have done something more about it.

    I don't care about culture or whatever excuse they use this is awful and people who do this are scum

    Yeah a few years ago a story broke of a Roma camp living within the roundabout at the Ballymun junction.

    Very human comment - fair play Sept!

    It's awful sad to think that there's a very scared little girl who doesn't know what the hell is going on. Hopefully she's happy and feels safe. Hope they get her home - or find a safe and loving place for her to grow up.

    Many people here have said that they are shocked at what happened here and rightly so, so are you going to post that comment on to everyone else who post a comment like mine??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,520 ✭✭✭✭ted1


    I wonder could it be a case of the mother having an affair with a local ?

    How would it be safe or legal to have a Roma camp or any camp at a roundabout???

    Shouldn't be allowed


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,041 ✭✭✭zl1whqvjs75cdy


    IT wasn't but they didn't particularly give a ****e.

    Time for Europol to get involved

    That is the funniest post on here today.

    On a serious note. Any Roma holding girls like this will get really worried. Wonder will kids be dumped and turn up out of nowhere

    Most people turn a blind eye, you would be surprised what goes on in tallaght and doesn't get reported because its nothing to do with me or my windows will be put in if I say anything fear is a terrible thing when it stops you from doing the right thing

    So Nodin..... What do you think happened??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,757 ✭✭✭Pretzill


    There have been many young women trafficked across Europe. Many Serbian girls forced into prostitution after the war. It's horrific to think that this is happening also makes me wonder if these ladies had children they would be powerless to keep them. I hope the powers that be are working hard to capture the criminal gangs behind these atrocities.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46,938 ✭✭✭✭Nodin

    No idea. The cops are looking into it. Presumably when the DNA comes back, things will become clearer.

    it was an area near the M50/Ballymun roundabout where there were a couple of buildings (still there) and some shelters (not there anymore) that they used.

    So not exactly on or under a roundabout. You can still see some of the boarded up dwellings there.

    O no, there was a good few on the roundabout allright (or the island in the road, whatever it was). I was just saying it wasn't tolerated, not that it didn't exist.

    Aye they used to send the kids out on the busy road to beg at the cars. I remember that.
