| Runaway convert back in Ohio after 3-month flight |
| 2009-10-29 |
| A teenage girl is back in Ohio after running away to Florida because she said she feared her father would harm or kill her for converting from Islam to Christianity. The Florida Department of Children and Families says 17-year-old Rifqa Bary arrived Tuesday in Columbus accompanied by a state social worker and a Florida police officer. Bary is now in the custody of Franklin County Children Services, which was given control of her case earlier this month. She will stay with a foster family and undergo counseling. Earlier Tuesday, an Ohio judge ordered the state to supervise Bary's telephone and Internet usage at the request of children services. Jim Zorn, a children services' attorney, says Bary's use of Facebook contributed to her problems. Bary denies that. |

| #3 I could be wrong, I know little about the case, but my gut says it was all a put up by CAIR or someone to provoke a reaction among non-muslims either to gain cash, prizes, or whatever and when it did not pan out she went home. |

| #2 Nothing will happen to her in Ohio (now). It will happen on a 'family trip' to Sri Lanka (where her parents are from - they're illegal immigrants here or something). |

| #1 Someone in the Ohio bureaucracy better have extra protection for her. Methinks her scuzzball family might try to do a (dis)honor killing |
