Yea but with the couple already admitting
that she's not theirs.. :P

Where was that reported? are you still referring to the first case?
according to the news about 20 minutes they claimed she was born to them in a Dublin maternity hospital.

Apologies, the RTE article switches between the two cases. I got confused.

My sister has three kids, two with dark hair and one with red hair......she's expecting a visit from the child protection people soon!

More likely a visit from a fat kid from southpark looking for the stray day walker..

And she'll probably be able to find all three birth certs and maybe even passports in under five minutes. She'll also be able to tell officers the hospital they were born in and date/time (to the nearest minute) and brth weight (to the nearest ounce).

To be fair, the Roma in the Greece and Dublin cases do seem to be coming clean and saying, "these are not our kids!". So the question is, how did they come to be in their care?

If you were a young couple/mother struggling to cope, would you choose to leave your baby with people who were members of a discriminated against and (reportedly) poverty stricken, non-formally educated ethnic group?

No.

My guess is, these kids were either bought from (awful) parents or kidnapped.

MarkR · 22-10-2013 02:02PM

Yeah, the article pulls from the greek case to drum up a bit of interest.

StewartGriffin · 22-10-2013 02:04PM

Maybe the wife was playing around. You can't just go investigating every family whose kids don't look like them. What if they found a stunningly handsome blonde couple with an ugly little minger in the pram?

"We think you must have abducted that child!"

Come to think of it I may have been abducted cos I'm the only good looking one in my family.

Well they would probably be the only group to take her "no questions asked"

hatrickpatrick · 22-10-2013 02:07PM

It is understood she is now in the care of the Health Service Executive.

Riiiiight, because experience has clearly shown that kids are so much better off at the hands of the HSE.

The words "fat" and "fire" come irresistibly to mind...

Instead of Romas, yeh, they would be infinitely better off in the care of the HSE.

Given everything we know about the HSE, a suitable analogy would be swapping a Miley Cyrus song for a Willow Smith one.

.

I dont think that is what is currently being reported, that is still referring to the first case, NOT the Dublin case. They claimed she was theirs and born here. Records dont confirm, yet.

They had a bad name long before this news.

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

I think your faith in the HSE is very misplaced...given everything that happened to children placed in their care in the past.

DellyBelly · 22-10-2013 02:20PM

Plenty of Romas live along the North Circular Road. I must be more vigilant when passing that way from now on just in case there are more cased like this.

A tiny percentage of children. When figures are given out on deaths of children in the care of the HSE they include, natural causes, road traffic accidents, long term illness etc. Very few if any who die or are harmed while in the care of the HSE die or are harmed because they are in the care of the HSE.

Its far from a perfect organisation but to compare them to Romas is laughable.

They already have a bad name and it's for a reason.

Fair play to who ever gave he tip to the guards

You'd want to be some bad article to have info like that and NOT go to the guards.

iDave · 22-10-2013 02:46PM

Got off a bus in Drumcondra on Sunday and walked past a bunch of them sitting on the concrete ground. Didn't even think to look at the kids. Will have be more vigilante about this.

It really does have the possibility of something very big being uncovered, I imagine a lot of attention from authorities will be more focused on the Roma during this period.

dylbert · 22-10-2013 03:05PM

With all this media attention I fear for any other children that might have been abducted.

josip · 22-10-2013 03:08PM

Dog bites man story.

I Heart Internet · 22-10-2013 03:09PM

Black hair-dye sales will soar.....it really will become harder to find any other traficked children as people will be more careful...
