That the Roma were won't to do this in times gone past is well known, and not worth arguing. It appears in this case that the trade was internal, though.

It seems likely this child was not treated much worse than her "siblings", it's just that this Roma couple are terrible parents - but then by the looks of it so was her birth mother.

And good luck integrating them, we can't even do that here where most of them actually go to school, and even university these days.
She made 80-100 euro per day from begging. This is definitely not good parenting. The mother turned out to be from Bulgaria and she recgnized her child, so I'm not sure how the "man from Scandinavia"fits in with the story. But the news site I'm getting this from also said that the kids in Ireland turend out to be the biological children of the family in question, so I'm not sure what to beleive.
