Sadly, the selling of one's children by poor families -- particularly the girl children -- has a long and cross-cultural history. Moreover, one of the saddest elements is that the sellers often believe, because of their own poverty-stricken status in most cases, that they are doing "the right thing" for their child. Sad.
Indeed, this thread is about child trafficking. A heinous crime.

It is kind of disgusting to ignore the real issue and abuse the story of this poor girl to go on a rant about gypsies.
