#6 "touchy abit arent we, boo hoo"

A bit stuck on stupid, aren't we? Do your parents know you are playing with the computer unsupervised?

A 12 year old, girl or boy, is incapable of deciding what is in their best interest. Especially with regard to religion and marriage.

It may, or may not be Frank G's & Barb's business, but it is someones business, and they do have a right to their opinion. Now, as Frank said, F*CK OFF!

#7 BK, we in America typically like to shield 6th grade girls from the type of circumstances generally seen in Pakiland. You know, the honor killings for not choosing the right husband, the fatal stonings endured by rape VICTIMS, the inability to actually choose ones religion w/o being killed for choosing something other than islam, etc.

It's all of our business - we all have a stake in ensuring that mind-bendingly rigid and brutal cults like radicalized islam do not flourish. It's a human rights issue at its base. You remember human rights, don't you?

#8 I have to agree, It IS our business, at least untill the child attains majority (That's 21 years not 12) until then it IS society's business to protect children, including protecting them from themselves.

#9 Scotch girl: My choice to join dad in Pakistan

The way that headline will probably read after this girl suddenly realizes how poorly her Western ways fit in:

Scotch girl: My choice to join dead in Pakistan

touchy abit arent we, boo hoo

bk, go live in Pakistan, you moron. See just how long you would last in such a profoundly backward and ultra-violent culture. My guess is; Under five minutes.

#11 Looking at the spelling and the word choice, this must be a different bk than the one we all know and love. Separately, now that the girl is in Pakistan and in her father's custody, there isn't a hope in hell that she will be allowed to go back to Scotland with her mother, no matter how she came to be there or to whom the Scottish court originally granted custody. So I can only hope that the girl's statements reflect her true feelings, because I see no way to successfully extract her from the situation.
