It has been said that the little girl had been taken from birth after having told the mother that her baby had " died ".This is a dreadful practice that has been found out in Spain,where a baby was prepared for " burial " and when the coffin was opened,,there was nothing in it.
"Families" such as Maria was with,,have a lucrative business ( looking after themselves,of course ) by exploiting these children soon after birth,by stealing them and registering them as their own to gain more benefits as well as sending the children to beg.
It's an evil trade and one which doesn't just involve children,,as arms and drugs are found in these camps.
There's a long hard task ahead in tracing who Marias' parents are,,if it is that she was indeed stolen from birth,,2008/9 to parents who thought their child had died.
Then again,,Maria could also be the result of a " mistake " and given/left with the family of Romas',,we won't know the true circumstances for a while,,but so long as this sort of news is kept in the spotlight,,there's every chance of other little lost souls turning up.
